Yep. The 256GB base on the Macs is much more limiting on most regular users than 128GB base on the iPhones, and I don't see how anyone is filling it unless they have the attitude of never offloading anything off their phone, which I guess is your choice if you want to use it that way, but nuts to me from a backup standpoint.
To me a more useful benefit that still lets Apple charge for the people who really need the space is better storage management features. It annoys me, for instance, that I can't delete old attachments and files in messages without nuking the messages entirely, or having no context for the missing media if I delete only the media and leave the texts. Or allowing people to offload the Apple Intelligence stuff if they don't care about local models (or AI at all.) Otherwise complaining about the storage sizing is just kicking the can further down the road without giving users for whom it matters tools to address it.
