The big nodes are profitable. It takes a certain amount of technical savviness. It’s going to be a long time before it’s really practical for the average person to just plug in an umbrel node and have everything truly ready to be stable/profitable. You need a lot more than that today.

I’m more worried about the “not your keys” movement on chain leading to a bottleneck of chain transactions and permanently high fees. Again, I think it’s a problem we will solve but that’s the most pressing to me.
