Only up until people stop transacting. Larger blocks have more transactions so overall miners can get more revenue.

More transactions per block means less fees per transaction because of supply and demand. Miner total revenue depends on the slope of supply and demand curves and could decrease with big blocks. Luxury good manufacturers intentionally limit supply because it increases their total revenue for example.

Not to mention all of the other centralization problems that come with big blocks as @LynAlden has explained repeatedly.

Yeah, only up to a certain point because if people use custodians and lightning, miners receive very little revenue from the occasional channel opening and closing. That's why the miners supported big blocks in the block size wars. Decentralisation is maximised by minimising the total cost of us...
