You know our overlords read this stuff right? I’m convinced we are causing self fulfilling prophecies by giving them ideas.
But back to the topic at hand, I think most nodes are ran by legit #btc hodlers who have had similar thoughts and are prepared to protect the blockchain
Why does the number of nodes matter? There is no voting
1.Gives node owners ability to verify transactions on their own without reliance on others
2. Further strengthens network as another connection to pass along transactions (if configured)
3. In the case of a digital cataclysm the few nodes that aren’t affected could be used to repropogate the entire history of the blockchain from genesis clock
4. It was a fun project

Decentralization. If we wanted one person running the entire now network we could use eth. Then they change the rules at will.
Voting isn't exactly right but running a node does give you some small say in selecting transactions.
