Those people already can't run bitcoin then, you need more than 100GB of storage currently (I think closer to 160GB now? I don't remember). Good luck running that on your smartphone.
So the question is: amongst the people running full nodes today, how many wouldn't be able to cope with 8MB blocks?
Also note that 8MB is the max size and blocks could be smaller, I don't expect that 8MB blocks would get fill up in the short term.
