it's not the fact that larger blocks are beneficial to larger entities, it's that increasing the size of the blocks over time to several gigabytes in size would make it impossible for your average user to run a node, making the majority of Bitcoin nodes reside in datacenters, like Ethereum, instead of people's homes and devices. large entities or large players would now be in control. and this is exactly how it played out over the last several years with Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Scam Version. the small blockers were right.

Also IBD, IBD is already bad enough already; lathers blocks would make it incredibly harder to run a new node, not just to keep up with running one
