Why would someone prefer Lichess over Chess.com?

Currently I use lichess studies for my chess training and I am very satisfied with it.

Open source always free.

The only reason people prefer Lichess is because it is free and chess. com has to pay

Premoves are harder on lichess

1. Lichess has free puzzles
2. Lichess puzzles come from actual games and are much more difficult & your puzzles rating there is closer to your actual skill (They use a different rating system, so you'd have to guesstimate it to elo, it's not that difficult though)
3. Lichess has free public studies that have a lot of information
4. Lichess is better for saving and analyzing games for later so you can learn from your mistakes
5. If you're reading a chess book you can make your own study and document what the book says
