You can run a node without being a validator. It's the same as today with PoW, you can run a node without being a miner. Mining also requires a large investment

You can run a node without being a validator. It's the same as today with PoW, you can run a node without being a miner. Mining also requires a large investment in specialized equipment and energy if you have any hope of finding a block.
