I get your point but as franky1 pointed out it may not be worth the hassle of running a full node if you do not make a lot of transactions, you may in this case use some third party services to verify your transactions. If you do make a lot of transactions then you could as well pay a lower fee on your transactions and spend more money on your storage/bandwith. I want to emphasize the fact that the cost for a full node can be shared between multiple persons, however the cost of a transaction can hardly be shared so transaction fees may have a bigger impact on centralization than the cost of running a full node.

That said, I just verified the avg transaction value on https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/. It says it was approx. 71,125USD in the last 24h, the avg transaction fee was 2.44USD. For now I think your proposal makes more sense...

I'm far more concerned about the security of the network being impacted, instead of the issue surrounding the costs of a full nodes. In this day and age, most people simply wouldn't opt for a full node as their daily driver unless they're interested in Bitcoin. Most people wouldn't run a node, no matter how much money they can save simply because it is time consuming and not very rewarding.

The issue surrounding block size has really been discussed over and over again and I doubt we would reach a new conclusion by doing it again. Again, since this issue brings us to whether we scale on-chain or second layer, it doesn't make much sense to discuss it on this thread. I prefer the latter, 100MB blocks isn't really desirable for the near future.
