Storage will have no effect on how long the phone lasts though.

Well, it does.

Apps and files get larger in size. I remember apps used to be 20-30 MBs now they cross 300MBs each on their own.

We can install and store many apps and photos and videos respectively, not feeling the need to worry about space, especially since these phones are limited by storage.

Also, space getting over does slow down app and UI responses.

Finally, after you have spent almost double the price of the base model for space, you are gonna use it for twice as long at least.;)

This hasn't been a problem for me since at least 2018-ish. Even if you have a 128gb phone and each app is a GB, you still have a hundred apps. I just don't see this being a problem unless the person has zero cloud storage and their catalog of images and videos from many years ago is taking up space, a problem easily solved by 5k/year of cloud storage (for the whole family)
 
I for one, appreciate extra storage, even if it's more than I need. I've been through enough 'running out of storage' warnings, especially when I bought my first Android (a Galaxy Y) in 2011. Had to juggle apps, constantly.
 
Storage always plays the role. When reaching 80-90% phone will start lagging and mist storage is taken by app caches

Yes. The space on phones tend to be limited and cloud is required but that’s one of different adaptive responses.

Local storage has additional advantages like not relying on internet for accessing files. Ability to capture longer 4KHD videos. Local file processing as some people like to Vlog and as such. It also creates another redundancy in case cloud goes kaput during rains (/s).

I myself don’t wanna spend much for local storage but there are advantages. And as usual it all boils down to use case and cost-benefit analysis.
 
I used to know a girl who had a folder called "Me" on her phone, filled with 3,000+ selfies of herself. It suffices to say, she was a little bit narcissistic by my standards. And this was not even counting the rest of the massive folders of photos she had.

I wouldn't underestimate the average person's ability to fill up their phone's storage, no matter how large, especially taking into account high megapixel RAW files, 4k video etc.

Hell, there is probably an uncle somewhere who has 50+ gigs of whatsapp good morning images.
