You're wrong about lightening. It costs a fraction of a cent per transaction and is meant for everyday transactions. For very large transactions, it is wiser to use the main BTC network since there is lower risk.

Yes I agree with the cost and speed (which I mentioned) however lightning does require being connected over the internet.
