packets are slightly bigger because of cryptography (ie. routing like path requests, responses, announces, are also encrypted) and the fact that lora has minuscule bandwidth that would inevitable crumble when dozens of parties are using it at the same time. adaptative TX power, multi-channel/channel-hopping techniques could be used to push these limit a bit further... but when talking of cities of millions of people... divide lora bw by that and you get to these conclusions.
