I think the same could be said of any bitcoin node.

  But a regular bitcoin node isn't transferring money. It's simply tracking the state of the network. A lightning node is creating transactions and financial agreements with other nodes in the network.

    Bitcoin nodes propagate transactions created by users as well.

      They relay information about transactions, but do not receive and resend value as a lightning node does.
