 More blocksize essentially means more opportunity to capture transaction fees. This necessarily leads to an incentive to create bigger and bigger blocks therefore considerably increasing the cost of running a full node.

Yes but...

Not necessarily. Payment processors have an interest to run a full node to more efficiently broadcast their transactions to the network.

You'd be surprised by the amount of wallet services provider that don't actually run a full node.

Also, I have no interest in a network where only payment processors run nodes.
