This assumption is proven wrong by history.
Take a look at the RC5 challance, and its related cousins like the fold=

home or seti-at-home.
Next to that, there is incentive for running a node. It is that you don=

to trust someone else. This incentive has in business always been a ver=
y=20
strong motivator. See how many companies run Outlook on their own intra=

instead of using Outlook.com or similarly in the cloud.=20
In my own opinion, its waaay to early to call failure on running nodes.=
Maybe=20
you want to actually help merchants/chains/individuals run them by maki=

bitcoin-core more useful for them.
What is the reason people don't run it? Well, reddit says its because o=

upstream bandwidth not being able to be throttled. What about you try w=

on that instead of giving up on it?
