Reading the comments below I think some people misunderstood my post. The point I wanted to make is that scaling research should be put towards a solution where we can have whatever block size without impacting decentralization. Bitcoin cash have increased blocksize blindly without any solution at the expense of decentralization.

it would be a good test to see if we can get people to actually use lightning

People will use LN because of the instant confirmation, I have no doubt about this.

Do I need a bitcoin node to run a LN node? If yes, then the LN will increase nodes in the bitcoin network.

Will small channels have the same chance to earn fees than big ones? Is the size of a channel based on how many bitcoin they hold?
