I don't know. The original 2010 7" Galaxy Tab came in 16 GB and 32 GB models. The lowest iPhone 4S model is a 16 GB. The smallest capacity iPad has been a 16 GB since the first one in 2010.
Personally, I'm using practically all of the 8 GB SD card that's in my Nexus One at the moment. (Much of it is music - I listen to fairly obscure stuff not readily available on streaming services.) I'm about to move up to a 16 GB card. Most people probably won't have 8 GB of music but 8 GB of video is very possible. Then there's downloadable content for media apps for the tablet.
I'm not going to buy a non-upgradeable device with storage space that's limited since yesterday, and paying a premium for what should be baseline kinda stinks. More than $15 for the 8 to 16 GB upgrade is just bad, as is no 32 GB option.
8 GB of music is several days worth at least. I guess it's easier to just leave it all there, but it wouldn't be that hard to cycle it every day or so.
Maybe setup a streaming server on your own PC and download and cache a days worth each time you have wifi access.

Yes, or I could just use a $10 - $13 worth of fingernail-sized technology and never have to worry about syncing or cycling files.
I don't think it's uncommon for "normal users" to have more than 8 GB of music, video, apps, and downloadable content. Apple seems to agree.
Oh I agree. But you have to live with what's available.
