Of course 16Gb is an "uncomfortable" user experience. It's supposed to be.
It's about market segmentation.
It's not cost. 32gb memory units in bulk are like $1 maybe. Apple charges an extra $100 because they are using that easy-to-understand difference to segment the market and collect an extra $100 profit from those that can afford that price point.
You're basically restating the conclusion of the piece.
The author states that this (presumably) intentional choice undermines the Apple brand that includes quality and uncompromisingly excellent user experience.
This has been the state of things since Apple started offering different storage sizes on their iPhones. The bigger model has always been $100 more expensive. This is as much a part of the Apple brand as quality and uncompromisingly excellent user experience.
