The key is all those fees will just be going towards non-hashing. Security of network will most likely die with an infinite blocksize unless a minimum fee is imposed by miners via soft-fork.
There's a lot more to security than just hash rate.

I think there's a large amount of cargo culting going on regarding the hash rate rather than useful analysis of threat models, attacker capabilities, and exactly what proof of work accomplishes.
