Whether the block size is 1MB or 10MB in May of 2015 is "small stakes"... in May of 2018 (or whatever) the stakes might be larger. Also, there's alternative approaches (payment channels, lightning networks, etc) for handling smaller transactions that may prove viable in the near future. (To repeat: I'm not saying I'm against larger blocks, only that there's still smart people defending both sides of the argument at the moment, and that's why a stalemate has formed.)
