Scammers are a nuisance for all.
It's sensible to squash them with extreme prejudice (and also run Knots, not Core).
Anything else that is a legitimate market contender, let them prove their worth.
Bring it on, innovators!

Don't speak on the behalf of the "all"! Also, you run for help to the biggest scammers and monopolists - the government. 911, WMDs, "Hillary is going to jail", "Epstein killed himself", "The shooter acted alone" REMEMBER?!!!
Core, Knots - I don't run either... MONERO, BB!!!
So you mean that some people do like to get scammed?
Okay sure²
When you start caring for the collective good, you take role of god. You are not god.
Anyway, does that mean Monero users run nodes to secure their network, too?
You go to interwebs, type AI and ask: Hey AI, tell me about monero... LOL
About 13,700 node runners right now
