I feel like at every level we've implicitly made this decision that running a node is this oh so scary devops task that it is ok to leave to professionals. IT IS NOT. We need to reverse this. Running your own Ethereum infrastructure should be the basic right of every individual and household. "The hardware requirement is high, therefore it's okay for the devops skill and time requirements to also be high" is not an excuse. Even people who can afford high-end hardware, dedicated staking boxes, etc often do not have a lot of free time. Nodes should be easy.
