 Interestingly that's less than accessible Monero nodes.

Bigger blocks: Run LTC or BCH nodes
Private bigger blocks: Run XMR node

 I suspect people running XMR nodes care more about privacy than the average Bitcoiner. Sad, but probably true.

So many maxis have never even downloaded Bitcoin core.

 You need a node to maximise privacy and for
CPU mining.

I'd say that incentives are better aligned for Monero node operators than for Bitcoin.

Amd Monero is 99% price insensitive cypherpunks. While Bitcoin has 1% cypherpunks.

 Considering privacy is the whole point of xmr, I would expect you're right about that.
