If you don’t really spend or move much bitcoin is it worth it to run a node?
Is it actually interesting to learn from or just good on principle?

Good for privacy
No
In principle, it’s good to have one mainly so you don’t depend on someone else’s node to broadcast your transactions. But it’s kind of a larp.
If you have a server running other services, then you might as well run a Bitcoin node, but otherwise, don’t feel like you have to.
Running a home server is worthwhile if you’re curious about it. Check out nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll
