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?

There was an attempt few years ago. I'm sure the app is still there.

It's a good idea to run a node on an older phone, 3 yo device has the specs. But in reality it didn't catch.

I think Androids kill processes so it must be on and the read write the node required was too much....
