Isn't that the reason we have to bring "Criteria" to accept lightning feats? By this logic no Lightning Feat in fiction is Lightning Fast.
Then.... that's why some people can/will have issues with a general speed upgrade.
Our standards are there to suggest that a fictional move with lightning in its name would share the same speed. Damage saying it's just electricity wouldn't be against our standards.
Lightning manipulation is a common enough power in fiction that the criteria was made to see if we could use those feats for speed ratings.
I personally agree with the bold part, but that is again the wiki issue. Like, cmon, why do I have to explain it? Character A performs a feat with a certain technique, Character B is on par with him so he overall scale to it for almost no reason other than they are equal.
Not necessarily, being different does not mean they don't have the same speed. Chakra elements can be different from their "natural" counter parts, but that's always an isolated case. Just like the ninja who uses Suiton (water) without impurities, while all other suiton has impurities. The difference should be something like a huge difference in something very important for that element.
Of course electricity isn't accepted as lightning speed, what the **** is this? I can give you examples of electricity and lightning if you want.
Of course we'll not accepted literally every Raiton to be MHS+, as I said before at least 3 times. And lightning feats aren't always Mach 2000 or above, it can be MHS, just like in Boruto, where Sumire reacted to lightning with her Suiton and got MHS speed by that via calculation.
Lightning can be much lower and much higher, that's just the findings of one study. It can be low as 87,100 m/s to high as in the seven digits.
The revision wouldn't decrease lightning's speed by a whole lot if that's what you're asking BTW.
What Damage and DDM said. A linked blog would be solid for why we treat some stuff as legitimate lightning speed.
