Why tf is someone going to run a node for a network they can't afford to use?
Do you guys ever listen to yourself?
Not even most Bitcoiners run their own nodes and fees are relatively cheap right now (imagine if global adoption ever happens). There are only ~20,000 bitcoin nodes (or ~50,000 depending how you want to measure it). Unless you think there are only that many Bitcoin users in the world?
