You don't need to download the entire Blockchain if you trust a minimal amount of light clients in the wild, then you can use tried and tested techniques from Torrent and erasure codes to make sure these light clients, collectively can reconstruct the history to start mining, in the offchance that miners collectively decided to stop (which itself is catastrophic).
As long as Blockchains don't grow super linearly, and each block is small enough to propagate fast enough; all concerns about being able to run a full node is just misguided or trolling.
Please find something real to give you meaning.
