There was a time something of the sort would be needed for the popular audience - but contemporary 'normal people' well understand the usual measures of digital storage.
People don't choose between the '3,000 song' & '6,000 song' iPhone variations - even though Apple previously offered this comparison much more prominently for its iPod range. They choose 8/16/32/64/128 GB (the modern public is even catching up with us in having the powers of 2 memorised!) or whatever is the current lineup.

Why is the choice books or songs?

That's probably got more to do with the prevalence of streaming services. Very few people keep all their music on their portable devices anymore.
It doesn't matter what the cause is - I'm saying as a result of that, the general populus understands gigabytes.
I don't think they do, because family members ask me if they need to replace a 500GB hard drive with a bigger one when it's all Excel and Quicken.
