Yes I think you may be right. Dappnode's vision is somewhat similar to what you describe:
https://dappnode.io/ https://dappnode.io/
tl;dr An always on node for multiple decentralized networks, and designed to earn the device owner income for that work. For example, Dappnode allows easy deployment of Proof of Stake validation nodes for the Ethereum Beacon Chain for those who have at least 32 ether to stake.
I think the key missing link to making Dappnode-like offerings competitive with the market leading web services is compensation for the Dappnode development team.
How do you financially incentivize and sustain a volume of development on the Dappnode product that is comparable to what is done on centralized web services, without compromising on decentralization?
Value-capture and centralization seem to be intimately linked, so that is a challenge.
Funding open source software may be something only governments can do at a sufficient scale. I'm happy to see that in line with that, Dappnode received funding from the EU.
