Blobs are part of the chain just like calldata is. Today (or rather, this week), default nodes store blobs temporarily, but with EIP 4444 calldata is going to get the same treatment. The endgame has for a long time been: all nodes do real-time validation; p2p networks store history.

We have a debate on the team: do you think 4844 will significantly affect the average gas fees on mainnet for native ETH transfers, minting NFTs, etc?

Considering a significant amount of overall gas usage will be moving to blobs, and the speculation that there will be more migration to L2s when fees dramatically decline, I could definitely see a world where 4844 will significantly affect gas fees on mainnet. Probably still expensive by most measures though.
