Cause I am old. Habit over 20 years or more with lovely lyx. I don't see a Lualatex in the export menu. I see pdf (luatex), which I am using on my 2.3.2 lyx version, and latex (luatex) which I have never tried.
I like Noto Serif too. If you get the chance, please tell your friend that italicized Noto serif text prints as regular (non-italicized text) when exported via pdf (luatex) using Koma script article on my Debian stretch machine. Italics are not lost when, all else being the same, I switch from Noto serif to new century schoolbook.
