If most people here use laptops (which is my -- perhaps flawed -- perception), then maybe not.
I just put together a new Framework laptop with 64GiB, and that was a huge jump from my Dell XPS 13 with 16GiB. All of the other 13" laptops I looked at max out at either 16GiB or 32GiB. Even 15"/16" laptops probably usually only have 16GiB or 32GiB, on average, though I'm sure there are some with 64GiB.
And then phones, even the high end ones max out at around 8GiB, right? I think mine has 6GiB, though it's a few years old now.
Even someone with a desktop machine (for gaming, perhaps) probably "only" has 64GiB. So the total (64GiB desktop + 16GiB laptop + 8GiB phone = 88GiB) is still under 100GiB. I guess if we include the dedicated VRAM on a the discrete GPU that might be in the desktop? Not sure I'd count that, though.
I do have a few Raspberry Pis (of various vintage) and an old Mac Mini that are doing various things around the house, so I guess that's another 4+4+1+0.5+16 = 25.5GiB. So my grand total (including my phone and laptop; I don't have a desktop) comes to 97.5GiB -- so close!
I wouldn't count these, but my router has 2GiB, and I have two APs with 128MiB each, so that'd bring me to 99.75GiB. Can't believe I'm only 256MiB short!
