Yes. There was a big argument several years back about increasing transaction counts and the "more transactions please" advocates lost. BTC, by design, targets roughly this number of transactions per second regardless of how much energy is spent to mine.

Isn't this the reason for the Lightning network layer?

[UncleMeat]

It is. There are some people who believe that lightning causes a "worst of both worlds" situation where you are reliant on intermediate processors for everything and the network still emits gobs of CO2.

This is wrong. Lightning Network transactions are 100% non-custodial.
