Suppose a billion mobile phones wanted to run SPV wallets tomorrow. Who
would provide the nodes they would need connect to? The decentralization
fairy?
There's absolutely no reason that paying for connectivity would be any
more confusing or annoying than transaction fees are.
If some full nodes in the network started offering paid connection
slots, that would just mean that users who checked the "pay subscription
fee" box in their wallet configuration would have an easier time
connecting than the users who did't, just like how your transaction
might eventually get mined without a fee but paying one makes it faster
and more probable.
