I don't know if you realize that you can still have lightning without having a 4MBs of block weight space.
And to carry the analogy further, you are kind of making my point. In the Civil War, THE United States abolished slavery, (got lightning) but at the cost of a federated union.(a fixed bit correct block limit.)
The thing we are talking about is more nuanced than "Got Lightning".

My point is BTC solved the issues of scaling with consensus and innovation… BCH failed to solve it with narrative and trusting a few influencers.
The civil war was BCH vs BSV lol.
Bitcoin doesn’t have “wars”. It moves based on whatever is agreed on by the nodes. You are seeing debates in the community as how Bitcoin functions… that’s not how actual protocol consensus is reached. It’s just noise.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, but you are definitely not a second order thinker. No one is arguing what you're straw manning here. And a majority of the people in this thread are highly technical.
I'm not saying that BTC didn't "win" over BCH. I am saying the second order effects of winning caused us to lose in the long term, creating unintended consequences that have knock-on effects that I'm not sure that we can escape from.
No one here is talking about getting rid of lightning. No one thinks that there was a literal war where guns were shot.
