Not sure where you get your news but LN is implemented and functional. There are wallets, services, software, etc, downloadable, functional, used every day. If what you mean to say "get all the marchants that support BTC to accept LN", then yes, there is still some progress needs to be done.
The LN is not functional. It does not have an implementation of routing that scales. Nobody knows how to make an implementation of routing that scales.
If LN ever sees anything more than toy usage, it will fall over instantly, and become unusable.
