I takes 32 ETH to run your own validator node, so at current prices $4,183.

Ah. Indeed, when that was announced the price results in 32 ETH being ~$250k.

Why is the same number of ETH an appropriate amount now?

ETH's all time high is $1,432.88 [1], so 32 ETH has only ever been worth $45,852.16 max.

Thanks for the correction.
