It's the sad reality; pleb node runners will usually just install what their respective node package (mynode, raspiblitz, umbrel, start0s etc) recommends them on the main screen.
Which is why the whole "run your own node" is in reality much overblown. But even if ppl ran their nodes and checked the release notes & decided what to run, how many of their day-to-day transactions really *use* that node, and not the default electrum server baked into whatever mobile wallet they use?
Or what is the consensus block explorer people turn to when they want to "proove" they paid someone? mempool.space, or joeshmo's home node?
