There are comments elsewhere in the thread about this, but storage is not the only thing in play here: bandwidth (even in modern countries some rural places have very slow connections), energy use (it takes proportionally more electricity to transfer 140 MB vs. 1 MB, and running an UI that basically needs a web browser in the background is also a waste of electricity). Moreover in some countries a 1 TB SSD is not exactly affordable. And also in western economies, it might not be affordable for some people.

140 MB is not much when storage has been in the multi hundred GB for more than a decade. These days, a 1TB ssd is affordable.
