This is actually an interesting hidden insight: you can use nodes in the network to filter out non-fee-paying transactions for you for free, and use this as a source of transaction data. Though this technique is likely to be quite imperfect.

As you say this is flawed, it leads to a tragedy of the commons by exploiting the use of a resource at no internalized cost, but the externalized cost is nevertheless pushed onto the commons. EIP-908: Reward clients for a sustainable network
