... An eight terabyte hard drive will be able to store the entire Bitcoin blockchain for the next six years easily, and that is with a two megabyte blocksize limit.

Assuming Bitcoin adoption is poor & we don't need to bump blocksize again. 2MB gives us what, ~6tps, and we're ~2 - 3tps now?
Yeah, it essentially doubles throughput. This will make a huge practical difference in terms of adoption over the next few years. Since not allowing the blocks to fill up does allow for a better user experience, while maintaining the reliability we have all grown used to.
