Genuine question of my own: won't huge blocks disincentavize running full nodes? Won't verifying blocks become super expensive?

so a 300 mb block nets u ~0.8 bsv ($144)

a 1.2 mb btc block nets you ~0.25 btc ($2500)

Who in their right mind will mine bsv? Genuine question

Well, at least we can say that the BSV community makes it clear there are certain parties that must be trusted anyway. None of us really verify blocks for ourselves, we just use moneybutton anyway. But yeah, that old problem of incentivizing full nodes...

You keep making the mistake of thinking regular users need to run non mining nodes.

Obviously not, since I choose not to. In fact, I realized very quickly nothing can ever be trustless, and I just like to know who it is I'm trusting. Nodes are the man in the middle between you and the blockchain. Just like to be aware that's a weak point.

only valid reason to run a node would be to have privancy/anonymity when transacting behind TOR.

I guess some people value this above all else.
