Hmmm… not sure how to reconciling the different perspectives here. This is what PNI is saying regarding reducing costs:

In conjunction with our community partner, POKTscan, and in relation to our [recent announcement and efforts to reduce costs across the network](https://forum.pokt.network/t/pni-update-to-the-dao-january-25-2023/3859), we are evaluating the viability, cost-efficiency, and performance impact of our regions across the network. Historically, our approach has been to add more Portals in more regions, in an effort to reduce latency…

I was always under the impression that gateways were lightweight, but PNI is saying otherwise.
