I'm pretty confused as to how anyone could mistake the Liquid bitcoin token for actual Bitcoin, but clearly people are doing just that.

This is merely a confusion of definitions
You're defining "Bitcoin" as the thing you have trustless control over, others are defining "Bitcoin" as any asset that you will be able to gain trustless control over (i.e. IOUs, such as coins on an exchange).https://twitter.com/SomsenRuben/status/1147372639930839040 …Ruben Somsen ⚡️ 🇳 🅾️ 2️⃣ ❎ added,
Ruben Somsen ⚡️ 🇳 🅾️ 2️⃣ ❎ @SomsenRubenReplying to @jaybnyDollars on a bank are dollars. Bitcoins on an exchange are bitcoins. Bitcoins on Liquid are bitcoins. In all of these cases you're not the direct bearer of the underlying asset. It does lower the reliability of the asset, so the market could potentially value these IOUs less.2 replies 1 retweet 10 likes -

There's a crucial distinction to be made here: bitcoins are not Bitcoins. BTW, during the free banking era, less reliable dollars did indeed trade at a discount to more reliable ones.

so we will see different prices for btc on chain, LN and sidechain?

Probably only if enough sats on LN or the sidechains are at significant risk, so that people are willing to pay a premium to turn their sats into Sats. In this scenario exchanges could also be at risk, making determination of market price difficult.

Replying to @NickSzabo4 @_MartinTan and
If Tether can hold a USD peg i don't see why LBTC or LN sats can't hold a BTC peg given their designs. I wouldn't store value in anything other than BTC tho.
