It's not easy or elegant.
It's a hard fork that most of us aren't willing to support because we understand the long term costs. If you make it considerably more costly to run a node, say 10x, then you get significantly fewer nodes, more centralization, less resistance to future hostile changes, & you create a compounding risk of future network fragility if some significant portion of nodes get eliminated & have to resync from zero in order to secure the network. And for what?! 10x txn capacity does nothing in terms of the problem of putting everyone's coffee purchases on chain.
This debate has been had 1000 times & was already settled during the blocksize war. It's ridiculous how often these basic things have to be repeated.
