Well, i don't think it has anything to do with fees... You shouldn't mix transaction fees with exchange fees...
If an exchange charges a withdrawal fee, they usually use part of said fee to pay the transaction fee, and they keep the rest. Nothing is stopping them from slightly lowering the withdrawal fee for LN withdrawals, so they keep the same profit margin.
Same for deposits: for deposits, 100% of the deposit fee is "profit" for the exchange (eventough, many small deposits will increase the fee they have to use to spend those funds afterwards), so nothing is stopping them from keeping said fee in place for lightning deposits.
To be honest, i have no idear why they're not adopting the LN... Maybe because it's to new, or because it would cost them a lot of money to change their code, or because they have to give extra training to the support staff, or because they don't think the network is mature enough, or because they believe some of the FUD going around, or because they think not enough open channels will exist, or because the current market share is to small, or because an on-chain transaction with loads of confirmations is still safer than a lightning transaction,... Plenty of reasons, but which one is the real one: only exchange owners can tell you...
