Right now, the volume is so low that there is absolutely no need for LN at all. The price is dropping as fast as a secreteriat breed and all transactions are quite fast already.
Absolutely no need for LN? We need it more than ever before to keep gaining adoption. LN will offer people a user experience that's fast and super cheap, and that consistently, day in day out, which is something the main chain won't ever be able to offer. It's Bitcoin's killer application, come on. 
Hence, people already forgot about the works done on lightning network since the need for it is not there yet. If (hopefully) one day the price goes up again and the volume sky rockets and the transactions get stuck and the fee's gets high, we can start talking about it again.
People who 'forgot' about LN aren't here for Bitcoin's utility, but purely to speculate on the price. People who focus on use, and Bitcoin becoming money for the mass don't do anything other than keeping an eye on what LN's progress is. https://www.bitrefill.com/ is one of the most popular sites accepting LN, and it works like charm. I used it a couple of times to buy PlayStore credit.
