I will try to assume good faith here, and just state facts.

Lightning channels are 2 end points, p2p.

Lightning routes are a sequence of lightning channels. Routes are also 2 end points, also p2p. No trusted is required for intermediaries.

Every internet packet, unless it is you to your lan router, passes through many intermediaries. I have no idea how ethereum state channels work, but I assume they route using tcp/ip, and statechannel team understands this as p2p.

So anyway, lightning is p2p.

Cheers.
