A node provides support to the Bitcoin network, but running a node is an advantage and a great responsibility. I was recently reading the very spectacular @DarthCoin Guides, specifically on the topic of how some have misused the possibility of having a node. That is why this guide shows what type of node to run according to the need and the knowledge we have. So I agree with the idea that even when a node contributes to the Bitcoin network, not all of us should have one, at least not a complete one.
Here is the link to the aforementioned guide

"Here comes Zeus, starting with version v0.8.0 announced on their blog, is now offering an embedded LND node into the app. Until now Zeus was a remote node management app + LNDhub accounts. But now… the node is in the phone!"
Here is the guide from @DarthCoin that deals with this topic:

Investing in hardware to create a node, as long as the motivation is to contribute to the Bitcoin/Lightning network and seek independence, I think it would be good, but if that is not what motivates us, it is better not to. As the saying goes: "If you are not going to help, it is better not to bother"
Those are my comments and considerations. I hope you contribute with them.

Running a public LN node is a serious task that requ8ire a lot of hours studying and testing. I wrote all those guides to make an easier life for all those noobs starting now.
Running a private LN node require also some level of knowledge.
