Big blocks are probably easier to censor and harder to use for people who only have low-spec equipment/networks. Vulnerability to censorship vs limited on-chain scaling -- pick your poison. Censorship-resistance and on-chain scaling are both good things, but one picks a priority. You or someone else can always go BCH if you like big blocks and the BTC devs are not going to stop you. |

Only if they get extremely big, and the clients cannot handle them.

These people should use light wallets or SPV wallets, which is what we already use on mobile phones.

Only Siths deal with absolutes. This is a false choice.
Small blocks, and large fees, also have a centralizing effect on the network as small miners gets priced out as the transaction fees removes a larger fraction of their income.
And miner decentralization is the most important type of centralization there is, because that's what provides censorship resistance and network security.
