In what ways is Chess.com actually better though? The people I've spoken to always say Chess.com is better, but when I ask them how, they always draw a blank, or bring out unsound arguments. I think the fact that it's paid content makes people think it's premium or something.
I think the educational material is simply more user friendly and better for newbies. They'll also be in the same environment that has the most famous players. I think the interface is a bit easier and straightforward to navigate for a beginner.
Lichess is not vastly! superior or else chess.com I don't Believe would have the market share it does.
But these are just my opinions
