Legit question. Why canโ€™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?

my phone cost $1500 and to run a node, it needs to be plugged in 24/7 and can't be used for anything else

pi - $200 all in

Simple math

The idea was that many people upgrade 1500$ phones after 3 years and the specs are good for a node so why not give it another life. But it didn't catch.
