Legit question. Why can’t we run Bitcoin Nodes directly on our phones? Why do we have to use over-priced Raspberry Pis, $500+ PnP hardware, or old laptops for this crap?

A phone has a screen, keyboard, battery backup, less physical space, and lower electricity demand. it's more secure. Always on. Always with you. Doesn't need to be connected by cable to a physical router. It also never faces stock shortages because it's ubiquitous.

What am I missing here? Why isn't this a thing?

Only few phones are capable of holding the whole #Bitcoin blockchain. But hopefully, pretty soon, most phones will have the storage.

A small pruned node would be enough for many.
