It’s because we were promised cheap, fast, and decentralized and got the opposite.

It’s expensive as hell to use crypto to move money. It’s very slow, and I’m forced to use centralized coin exchanges which destroy the original decentralized nature of the currencies.

Why should we be excited about a product that is the opposite of what it sets out to do?

You want what was promised, but you use it in the way that's prescribed by the state, that's your failure. Besides, why do people keep pretending like lightning doesn't exist..

You can use Lightning. I agree its main promise is still in the works, but the digital gold thing is also a feature.
