With the assumption most people wont or will be lazy to run a node. It is important to keep the urgency to run a node and promote it within the culture. Because that is the only way to create asymmetric momentum towards the small bunch that would end otherwise not doing anything and the byproduct is the slow sunset of node runners. Keeping the pressure for people running a node is an important political and above all psychologic effort. It ensure there is continuity of new node runners as old ones also die as per life cycle. Otherwise corporations and nation-states win de centralization game without even fighting.
