but amongst the general users
General users don't matter from the perspective of the future composition of the full node network.
Businesses and mining pool operators matter.
they do matter when some of the largest holders of bitcoin come from that segment of the community.
the other thing is that there are plenty of general users who understand Bitcoin both technically and economically as well, if not better, than business and mining pool operators. they are very aware of issues like block size limits and bandwidth limitations.
