No, you're just uneducated on the matter, private transactions exist bu using zero knowledge proofs.

One is an open system where public transactions need much more sophisticated cryptography to be private while remaining auditable. The other is a proprietary closed system. They are not the same.
However Monero has shortcomings, the main one being its auditability.
Some Monero developers have created a new project which tries to solve those issues, and add zero proof knowledge to the mix: https://pirate.black
The lightning network is not a good example of an L2, it's extremely basic state channels and won't scale because of routing / liquidity issues.
Look into Optimism and Arbitrum for current technology, or zkSync, Starknet, Polygon zkEVM for next gen L2's coming soon. There's a big list of all the current L2's and their tradeoffs at https://l2beat.com
