I cannot agree with you. Requests for nodes come constantly. I think you hear about new nodes in some time.
You can talk about crazy demand as much as you like. But this can only be confirmed by a large number of actually working nodes. What if the team does not commission third-party nodes because no one wants to install it?
Don't worry everything will ok with it. I think the number of new nodes will appear in some time. Will see. Do not make conjectures in thing that will be clear in some time.
