Everyone who has the ability to do so, should consider it but reality is always going to be a minority who do so, it does blow my mind that a few thousand nodes are verifying a 2 trillion dollar asset class but that's the world we live in
I don't think its feasible to ask everyone to run a node to use the network, and thats proven by the market, how many people are using hot wallet software with their own node? I venture to say not many
While I do run a node myself, I do use it for F'ing around, learning about new software I can run ontop of Bitcoin and so I have more of an incentive to run one, versus someone who just buys and hodls
Thanks.
I'm a holder so it just doesn't make sense, right?

As long as you're happy to trust the person whose node you're using to broadcast to the chain, but yeah not really part of the ethos of don't trust, verify
