I think this situation will become more clear as we take steps to look into the details. I never had only "hosting" nodes in mind, more like having access to a "hybrid" environment for running and developing applications. Hosting is only one aspect. The block chain has unique qualities, but doesn't replace traditional databases (relational, big data or otherwise). I've always seen it as a more complete environment for those who need it. You can also use Amazon AWS, IBM's Watson, various cloud and IoT providers. Again, only for people who need it, but it would be good to have a "leg up" by having some kind of integration agreement that doesn't require any special modifications, SPR can be whatever it wants to be: 100% decentralized.
