If only bigger maximum block size only lead to bigger storage requirement.

And to what other requirements? Ram, internet speed? Should we also compare those to the Satoshi era?
Centralization because people can't afford to run a node when we're talking about ASICs in the thousands of $ that are close to not even working in a normal house without modifications to the breaker and powerlines?

I'm genuinely curious about what is so threatening about increasing the size by a factor of 2 or 4 for example.
I've yet to hear an argument about how doubling or quadrupling the size of the blocks will be a bigger threat than the spam attack that turns users away, the centralizations of mining pools of farms, the near monopoly in mining gear production, the already enormous percentage of nodes hosted in data centers, and so on and on!
