But also in the long run the effect of the amount of extra transactions we can do per block with a 10mb block instead of now is negligible. I mean it is not make the bitcoin basechain suddenly incredibly scalable to buy coffee or something.

Exactly, this was another major piece. Even 10x or 50x blocksize, while potentially extremely consequential to the ability to run a full node and the risk of explicit spam attacks and UTXO bloat in very short time spans, it does practically nothing for the scaling problem. In the end we still need literally all the tech and layered protocols we would need with 1MB blocks.
