Node count is not a good metric to measure strength of the network, hashing power is better. End users should only need to run SPV's at most if that.

end user's should be encouraged to run their own full node's, the whole point of bitcoin is sovereignty

Not everyone wants to run a full node. Most people are just going to want to buy, trade, or spend BSV without being forced to participate in its operation.

everyone has to run their full node for bitcoin to succeed, reason why keeping the cost of running a full node low is important. which is part of the small block argument

how is there any sovereignty in that? it gates so many potential users by default. The whole point in the sovereignty of bitcoin is being able to send to any other user without the possibility of seizure, hence peer-to-peer.
