Rematch culture much worst in lichess org than chess com. Could we improve this?

I play in lichess org and chess com.
Mostly on lichess and it is so pity that after a single game the percentage of remach accepted in lichess is less than 5% from my personal experience and in chess com is more than 50%
To give a rematch talks about the player's integrity and respect for the opponent.
I believe lichess can do something to stimulate Fairplay and integrity in that direction.
rematch is completely players wish and rematch can't decide which site is better and no one can impose any rule on that .
Your thinking is wrong on so many levels.
completely players wish - So many bad things are up to people's wish, not a valid argument.
rematch can't decide which site is better - this is the reason the highest level in chess have accepted champion matches will play in a single game ;) Oh, sorry it is not the case. There are multiple games. So your statement is wrong, the rematch can decide who is better. But this is not even the point here. Increasing integrity should be every platform priority.
no one can impose any rule on that - I suppose stimulus would work, not rules.

In chess com there is a single click option after every game if the other player was a good partner. The people are not punished immediately but supposedly after hundreds of negative ratings, they will be noticed.

I don't mind moving to another platform and playing there. Taking my time to write here shows my goodwill to improve the environment. If not I'll just move and maybe others will move where this issue is addressed.
By the way, taking into account the percentage of a rematch here I am not surprised by the reactions. There is a huge gap here compared to other platforms in terms of disrespecting other players. Giving a satisfaction is principle old as humanity that is founded on respect.
Lichess already clarifies in case it has to do:

"We noticed a pattern of aggressively asking for takebacks in your communication. This is a reminder that nobody is obligated to grant you a takeback. By asking for a takeback you are solely relying on your opponent's courtesy, so them rejecting your request is not bad sportsmanship. On the other hand, it IS inappropriate on your part to criticize them for it. Please keep this in mind in the future."
Chess dot com is a multimillion dollar , for pay, chess platform that can afford to pay developers to work full time on it and implement and monitor functions like “whether or no so-and-so was a good sport”. Lichess is a completely free platform that offers virtually all of the same features as chess dot com, in some cases it offers more and better features. All totally free. Keep that in mind when threatening to leave, no one here is going on beg and plea with you to stay.
SargOn Thank you! Now I understand that lichess actually stimulates the opposite I consider as a right. This explains it all. Buy, buy lichess :)

GrandMasterShake Sorry didn't know that the forum for "Feedback" is only for positive feedback since it is a free platform. Yes, I consider my participation as valuable and find it productive if the platform wants to keep me here. Why anybody should beg somebody else?

You're onto something big I guess.
