But every full node does, because it is required to validate the chain.

Near as I can tell, you just don’t know how Bitcoin actually works?

I will say it again. When validating the chain all it cares about is that the sum of the output UTXO for a transaction are <= the sum of the input UTXO. All the input UTXO are no longer valid once spent and can be forgotten.
