No Satoshi actually envisioned that we would reach a stage where only big companies would be hosting nodes. We already see a scenario where only
people with fast internet and lots of disk space are capable of running FULL nodes. It takes a lot of bandwidth too, so you will have to take that into
consideration, if you want to run a FULL node. All of this can become pretty expensive, if you are living in some 3rd world country with expensive data
packages and slow internet.

1. his whole mindset (full context) is that there would be ~100k full nodes and no need for millions/billions of full nodes. the reason for this is:
a. the more nodes to propogate to makes it more delayed to get the data to everyone. so having 7billion full nodes actually hurts a decentralised network. (x degree's of separation)
b. not everyone NEEDS to be a full node
c. it would mainly be businesses and enthusiasts that NEED to run full nodes
