The tiny blocksize makes sure that Bitcoin stays decentral. If you raise the blocksize, Bitcoins blockchain would grow too fast, requiring more storage, which could get really expensive, which would lead to the point that running a fullnode would centralize to less and rich entities. Currently, a 1TB SSD is enough to store the whole Bitcoin blockchain.
