"I don't care that my application doesn't need to be on all 7000 nodes, not even a factor." This is an interesting topic, blockchain security is very useful for a bunch of applications (i'd prefence that to say stop trying to touch the real world with the blockchain, and you realize it's fucking amazing) but you don't need the same amount of distributed security for all applications. Banking apps need high security, gaming apps need a lot less. Avalanche is really interesting in this respect. It has the main C-Chain which has thousands of validators but it also has subnets which might have just a few validators. This gives you the ability to toggle your security needs to your application (it also let's you toggle the VM, so you do things like add stateful precompiles which let you do things that may not be practical in the EVM.
