As someone who loves lighthouses, I'd like to thank you!

Another lighthouse map [1] was discussed on HN in 2022 [2]. It also has some data-quality/completeness issues due to being based on OpenStreetMap data, but avoids the AI slop aesthetic of this one.
it would be even cooler if the blink duration, color, direction, etc were accurate!

The US state with the most lighthouses isnt on the coast.
I’m talking about the true lighthouse count. I understand there are some issues with this map.

Do you mean sea coast? Quite a few larger lakes and rivers have them.

Didnt know there were lighthouses on the French Antarctic Kerguelen Islands

They are not in a busy part of the ocean, but I suppose it is to warn people away. That archipelago is not fully charted, so it is probably a good idea to keep away from much of its coast. Probably dozens of uncharted reefs.
