Seems to me block size limit is just a distraction, there shouldn't be one. It's a red herring. Miners have invested millions if not billions on hardware...wtf are a few hdds?
Software needs to be refactored to allow larger blocks. It isn't a resource issue.
So at this point if the limit was removed the system would be self-limiting. Proving my point.
It would be self limiting yes...but it could lead to unnecessary orphans or even chain splits, which you definitely don't want.
