>Main reason to run a node is to keep the network decentralized.
No... the main reason to run a node is to validate your own transactions privately.
Plebs of little to no economic relevance have practically no impact on the outcome of forks or Bitcoin's "decentralization".
Run a node for your own benefit, or don't, but let's not pretend doing so is an altruistic act.
