In the bitcoin fee market, the supply is fixed at 1MB and demand is based on current user demand for block space. As demand increases, price for block space will go up. This is a good thing because the security model will heavily rely on high fees in the future.
Changing the supply of block space if mass consensus is reached among the bitcoin community does not break the free market of bitcoin fees, it just changes the supply side of the market.
I'm not talking about free market of bitcoin fees, i.e. between the active (on-chain) users alone I'm talking about missing free market between them - and the passive stakeholders aka free riders, in post-subsidy era.
