They also hate volunteers who run BCH nodes, 32MB blocks will wear-out harddrives quickly.

Wrong. BCH will run in Raspberry Pis just fine thanks to UTXO commitments. No need for large hard drives.

Your "wrong" is wrong. You still need large storage devices if you want to trustlessly verify transaction history.

Your "'wrong' is wrong" is wrong. Yo can verify transaction history with an SPV wallet.

A full node won't help you against an eclipse attack. And also not against a sustained 51% attack since miners can mine empty blocks on the minority chain, halting it.

A full node is good for increasing your privacy, disguising what addresses you're watching, but that's all.
