It's a strange world!
Even with APSc I go through all the hassle of producing great quality pics, squinting at the screen @ 100% making sure the image is tack sharp to the corners, produce a PSD image whilst keeping the RAW and the Jpg now all at around 130Mbs feeling proud of myself and then compress it down to 1-2 Mbs to post it on flickr/ facebook or on a forum. I'm sure whole loads of people do the same, printing out maybe thirty odd prints a year and double stocking most of their shots (50,000) on two 4Tb hard drives just in case one day they will be asked for a 20X30" print. This is probably the story of most amateur shooters, the screen has become the photo and the passing of the family album is becoming a bi-annual occurrence, if that.
Why the preamble? because apart from pros earning a living and really needing the extra quality I think most amateurs after having lugged FF gear round for a year or two that weighs a ton will have had their fill of it and will be back looking for gear that fits in better with everyday life, in short I think in a few years the FF bubble will burst.
