We need to test that this is a valid option. If it is, then Bitcoin has no problems.
But, Bitcoin does have problems. So it can't be that easy, or cost efficient. Bandwidth costs alone would make it expensive to set-up and maintain.

If SPR node ops can run a thousand BTC nodes for a few $ a month each, so could BTC zealots, they're just too tightfisted, and the Bitcoin Foundation would rather spend their money flying themselves around the world to fancy conferences where they can all dip their beards in free soup.
