No I didn't. I have only read a blog post about setting up a public node, where this number was written and I took it as "low", I think there was a comparison with other popular cryptos but can't remember, it was a longer time ago.
But I know that syncing from scratch takes very long even if you have a fast computer with blockchain on SSD drive. I know there is the bootstrap file to be downloaded separately, but that is also capped to 3 MB/s download (you can speed it up by using a download manager with segmented downloading, though) and importing it also takes very long and requires additional drive space, and is more laborious/advanced (however, this approach has nothing to do with the number of public nodes).

... there are only around 1000 Monero nodes

Why do you think 1000 is a low number for Monero? I'm not saying it's high, or even enough, but I don't see any indication that would make me believe that it's the opposite.
Have you seen any reports from people trying to set up their own node and not being able to sync because of lack of open nodes with available outgoing connections?

Maybe this has been already answered, but... why isn't there a reward for running a public Monero node? (on both TCP ports). I have read somewhere that there are only around 1000 Monero nodes, including many fake ones, those are banned automagically.
I know upload rate can be limited, and I have limited it to 10 Mb/s and it made 30 GB upload per day. I don't want to see how far can I go before my ISPs FUP comes in Grin so I have to lower the upload rate. I was just thinking that if the network is struggling with low number of public nodes, then it would be good to motivate people to run a node, no?

Speaking about code, any updates on haveno? this dex should already be up and running...
Development is slowly moving and I think they have active chat in matrix but someone create unofficial haveno telegram.
They created design team and started working on that:

Wish that developers of monero can evolve this coin into a 2.0 version smart contract type of cryptocurrency. Its privacy attribute makes it really stand out from the rest of more popular blockchain application. But it is also good that it will stay this way as a store of value, a really excellent alternative to bitcoin.

Hi, monero-gui-v0.17.2.2 not visible balance and history transaction if old key import.
Impossible restore wallet from seed, next button inactive.
Wallet often freezing.
OS: Debian9.

Debian9 is quite old (11 was just released), not sure the devs are still targeting that. Try and restore on a more recent linux version.

Note the unconventional cAPITALIZATION!
Wait... I know this is not the speculation thread.. but Primer and Gembitz posting at virtually the same time?  That has to have some sort of price implications donchathink?

Indeed.  It's really well done and shows people better how quickly they can get personal data. Such a visualisation is much better than a long text.
It would be nice if this advertisement were shown on TV. Preferably during the super bowl.

Wondering who wrote that code and who vetted it?

I seem to remember this code was paid to be audited.
I was not one person writting a code, and code auditers are also humans and not super heroes that don't make mistakes.
Bitcoin is most audited code ever and it still had many bugs that got fixed in due time.

I am well aware of this and still want to know.

I'd also like to see the code in question bur haven't looked at that codebase since 2014 do to the lack of documentation.
