I use the Amazon app regularly and my phone has enough storage to fit the app more that 600 times. It's not a particularly expensive phone either.

Given that I'm not sure why I should care as long as it works.

As a dev I agree it's technically interesting to find out why, as a user I think it just doesn't matter.

You have over 100 gig of storage space free on your 'old' phone? I just upgraded a year ago to 32 total gigs.

I can see why jumbo app wouldn't affect you.

I've got 7t on my desktop. Would you mind if chrome automatically updated to 1t. It's not a new computer pre-owned 2015

I don't know your exact context, but a ~$200 phone from Samsung comes with 64GB of storage...

You still can't fit 600 Amazon apps. You would need over 100 gigs.

Are we doing reductio an absurdum here?

Or just trying to figure out how we can do "smartphone death by a 1000 Amazon apps"? :-))

I have a Realme GT Neo2 which comes with 128gig at about 330€. Of course if it occupies a significant portion, it would be an issue. On the other hand when I look at the kind of updates that Steam and Playstation are pulling, 200mb feels like nothing.
