I don't see it as a "give away your coins" or "pick what's better to use and throw it away" like fiat, since the users in those markets are given the option of paying in any other crypto, they could be using Litecoin which is even in most mainstream exchanges and has easier access for all, and it also has "mweb" as a privacy feature, they could be using USDT on the Tron network, which is also common in those places like Argentina, so the question becomes: where is everyone getting their Monero from? and why using it exclusively?
But again if this is good or bad is indeed a different debate this is mostly because I've seen bitcoiners say LN is private because you can't tell how many payments are happening, and real world usage data show exactly that: how much it is being used for real world commerce, where money actually is worth and traded instead of being used for micro-cent tipping or sending back to yourself back and forth for no purpose
