When it becomes commonly accepted that transmission nodes in the Bitcoin network are feasibly mainly to those with dedicated or specialized hardware in environments where network connectivity significantly exceeds what joe-sixpack has access to, I doubt that it will bounce back (to 'users run nodes') no matter what the theory says is possible.
At that point Bitcoin is, to me, a much different solution than the one which initially appealed to me and one with a different set of dangers. It will also be at that point that I will be on the lookout for a good point to bail. That is, one which maximizes my profits (or limits my losses as the case may be), and that has not been the overriding factor in my interest in the solution to date.
There is not much to actually argue about here since this is just my opinion and mindset. It also seems that I have a lonely position here which is not representative of the user-base. But just in case, I state it in case it has an impact on development priorities.

Ya, looking more than a few months ahead baffles and confuses a large majority of humans. What can ya do?
