Supporting security towards the network is one of the major drivers (in my opinion). Then immediately after that, the fact that if you are distant from everywhere, you also want your local node to get access to super speedy transactions... in case you are also building more infrastructure towards side-chains.
Then, after that, there are tons of applications... from supporting the community with a public node (VERY EXPENSIVE, and props to anyone supporting it) and providing the global infrastructure with an added value towards decentralization, to supporting specific apps, ventures etc... there are lots of options one could support nowadays with software.
Are you interested in starting a node? If you are comfortable with coding, I would advise giving it a read on HIVE side-chains and then because you will get hooked, running a HIVE node too. 😋
For HE it's enough everything without account history for example. DLUX types and sorts, it's different, but can also be segregated with the only thing that needs history.
In essence mostly for get blocks, hive state, broadcasts and if one will use wallet functions.
But
I wanted to contribute in different way than just writing content. Getting well paid is a big bonus that I only started to few years later.
I’m a developer so setting up a node is not too complicated. I followed some tutorial others have written.
Cool thanks, I feel the same way, put something back and expand knowledge at the same time.
Of course bro

A Witness node won't help with local access, for that you would need a full node.
Depends on the plugins... I agree,

Another good point, can you link to the further reading on Hive side chains?
Note: there are more than DLUX but based on similar tech...For Hive Engine, https://peakd.com/engine/@rishi556/how-to-set-up-a-hive-engine-witness-step-by-step-guide For DLUX type side-chains... https://github.com/dluxio/dlux_open_token
