I have noticed that there are far fewer bridges (about 2,000) then there are relays (about 7,000). As I have been running my home computer as a relay since last year, my ip address has already been in the tor network for a while, and thus will already be known as a relay to begin with. Is there a free way that I could remotely run an obfuscated bridge as well?

No, there are no free, long-term VPSs.

But you can search the list archives for cheap VPSs:

Or use this wiki page to find cheap VPSs:

You will need to use ssh and you will probably get a machine with Linux or BSD.

macOS VPSs are very rare and very expensive.
