Most of us don’t have a need for that amount of built-in storage. External drives and even USB memory sticks meet the needs of probably 95% of people. I don’t begrudge you your mega-storage system (I think it’s pretty cool), but I have a 1TB SSD and a 2TB external, and I have plenty of storage. Granted, I’m not doing anything graphic or audio intensive. If I didn’t have kids or didn’t have to work full time, I’d probably need more, but with my available free time and budget, this works.
We used to get more and more disk space until we got SSD. I hate modern laptops having just 1 TB drives and having to connect external drives all the time.
I’ve got at least 400 GB in photos, an 80 GB music collection, then the OS needs space, maybe you’ll have multiboot, and maybe you also want some games that somehow require many gigs nowadays. I’ve got 3 TB in my laptop and I’m constantly cleaning up to have some space.

I’ve got just shy of 70TB of storage at home. 4k hdr movies use lots of space!
