There's no advantage to an 8/8" blade.

Unless you're using a serious 'Santa Claus' lather, even a 5/8" blade will be able to shave one side of your face without needing to be rinsed more than once - a minor loss of time.

I find 8/8"+ blades to be slightly more cumbersome to use. Most of my blades are 5/8"-11/16" wide, which suits me. They all shave equally well.

Why are the 8/8" blades so popular, and so expensive?

Well, why do people like massive cars, houses, guns, bombs,. etc.? There's a psychological reason for all this, but I'm not going to discuss that here.

in my particular case i have really big hands and the 5/8ths and smaller feel really really really tiny in my paw......

YMMV...

Hmmmm. 8/8. Geez, I can't think of one single advantage.....I can think of about 30, but just one? Nope!

For the record, my daily shaver is a 3/8

I thought you only shaved with axes and meat cleavers?

I just feel that 8/8s are easier to handle, easier to strop, nicer to shave with and better looking.

I really enjoy very hollow ground 8/8s. You get the best of both worlds - plenty of heft and flex.
