That would incentivize users to also become relays - why isn't it recommended more often?

All Tor relays -- even non-exit relays -- are in a public list. Many sites and services block access to all traffic coming from a Tor relay IP address. Either they don't understand how Tor works or (more likely, in my experience) they're just hostile to Tor.

If you host a relay on your home IP, you'll likely find that you are blocked from streaming services and other web sites (Cloudflare, for one, facilitates this and by some reports they control about 30% of web traffic).
