I think running a node is important for the network. However, I think the argument is whether running a full node is necessary.
Nodes help verify transactions, making sure no double spending is occurring. If you're running a node, you are in fact participating in consensus because your node talks with other nodes to maintain consensus on the validity of the transactions on the blockchain.

There's no argument happening afaict. The OP implied that miners run full nodes, which they don't, and given other convos I've had with the OP about self-sovereignty, I gathered they were using full node and node interchangeably.
