All DNMs are used for is to deposit or withdraw transactions. No one is using them as their personal wallets. If Lightning was on DNMs it would have the same issue. If the reason DNMs are adopting something was because of Gresham's Law there would be much better(worse?) crypto to do that with than Monero. It's the strong default privacy and relative ease of use vs the alternatives.

Lightning wouldn't have the same issue in that case because there's no transaction trace on Lightning, but there is on Monero. Gresham's law only applies in the context of a market that accepts both Monero and Bitcoin (or any other currency). If the option is there to pay in Bitcoin or Monero, most will choose Monero because it's worse to hold. If the only option is Monero, then that doesn't apply.
Lightning uses onion routing. Tor implemented onion routing, which Lightning copied. Try reading the Tor whitepaper, it's right there at the beginning what onion routing can't protect you against: a global passive adversary. A GPA has existed for many years. It's called the NSA. Onion routing doesn't provide you with the privacy and anonymity you think it does, sorry. (but it's better than nothing)
