Good luck getting consensus on a hard fork.

Bitcoin isn't a democracy; it's like a software constitution: purposely very hard to change and thus valuable.

Besides, if block space increases too much, it increases the bandwidth required to run a node and thus risks centralizing the network for everyone.

Indeed it is almost impossible now for HF consensus, and bitcoin resistance to change is one of the best properties, i think there was SF option to block increase, block extensions, i don't know if it's actually doable, but it would also require consensus like any change. If this fee pressure continues and increases pricing out western holders, pressure to do something will also come.
