Because it’s bad opsec? Your phone is basically a tracking & listening device for every security agency on Earth, and it’s trivial to get access to even without special skills. One of the best reasons to use your own node is to not leak privacy to a third party. I think security is also a big part of the reason why wallets like sparrow have no mobile app, only a desktop client.

I use GrapheneOS not iOS or OEM Android.
Desktop security is a joke, even if you run Linux.
I don’t think GrapheneOS matters that much either. Plus nobody uses it in the real world today.
1) what
That OS doesn’t make you invisible. The second point I think you can figure out by yourself. Before we start shipping nodes to smartphones, maybe we first educate plebs what they actually do so they can’t fall for cheap narratives like “your mempool policy doesn’t matter and should be centrally regulated by the expert core maintainers”.
Are you a Apple user?
Check your numbers.
So more nodes being run by more individuals is bad because what if some of the nodes are less secure? Um yeah most people who are running nodes are using the same WiFi network they use for their phones so..
