Ethereum is an interesting case for this, because there's a default node address in Metamask, and that's obviously the one that most people are using. It also costs money, forcing enshittification.

Not sure about bitcoin - I run my own node for that (as I said, running the software). If you have a light client I think you have to have your own server?

Look at IPFS though. Extremely slow to access files but since everyone used ipfs.io gateway which cached all files ever accessed, nobody noticed the underlying decentralised system actually sucked.
