Its just a relative number. After getting to your stable rating, you don't care about the actual number, you are just focussed on improvement.

Lichess is overall better in my opinion, better & slicker product, free analysis, opening explorer etc. Chess.com only leads in video content imo.

I don't care except when I am talking to people IRL -- if I talk about chess and we compare ratings, we also have to talk about site they're from, essentially only because Lichess is such an outlier.
