And nobody NEEDS that node to forward it.  You can get it directly from one of the miners.

then theres no need to use blockchain tech.. if your just API calling a central server..
your really missing the point of bitcoin.. like completely missing the point

I think you are blind to what bitcoin really is or became, and still live in the dream of many, many small mining nodes.

Right now, bitcoin is an affair of 5 majority miners, and 10 miners if you want very large majority.  There are 5 "facebook servers" on bitcoin, essentially.

The number of proxy servers for these 5 facebook servers doesn't matter for the content they put at disposal, that's my point.
