Email does take some serious bandwidth
On a more serious note, people who have fast Internet should be running Tor relays. It would make the network much faster and secure.
Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?
And it’s quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.
Don’t run a Tor node in places that have censorship laws or problems with freedom. In places such as the US and most of Europe it should be totally fine to run a node. What the network really needs is more middle nodes. You can inform your ISP and the local police of what you are doing just to be sure.
The only time you could get into trouble is when you are running a exit node. ISPs and police have mistakenly classified out nodes as local traffic. It is recommended that only organizations such as universities run Tor exit nodes. However, it is important to keep in mind that to my knowledge no one has ever been arrested for running a exit node in a western country.

There links to other occurrences of arrest in the comments.
That’s just for a exit node. I explicitly stated that one should only let larger organizations run a node.
Also, my original comment still stands about no one being arrested
