If the pleb noderunners are the ones who started all this, why would they gradually disappear? From my perspective this hypothesis is similar to email and physical mail boxes. Just because almost the entire world uses email, that doesn't mean that homes are no longer being built with a physical mail box. So, I think there will always be a pleb running a routing node somewhere because collecting network fees is the next step after hyperbitcoinization, and don't forget that You can always sell your Bitcoin peer 2 peer, because that's one of its principle creations.
