There is a world beyond people who throw their notebook into the trash after 3 years. There are still plenty of users with 128 GB or even 64 GB. Now imagine Windows taking 30 GB out of these 64 before you even start installing any apps. Those people absolutely care about 500 MB.

Also if you're running 64gb hdd there's no way that you're running Windows version that takes 30gb

This is such bullshit, who the hell runs 64gbs of hdd. Budget laptops 6-8years ago already shipped with at least 300gb hdds.

You can, today, walk in to a Best buy and buy a Windows 10 machine with 64 or 128gib mmc. You can buy them in most US department stores and people do buy them.

When the switch the SSD came the price per GB was high and machines/ssd actually went as low as 30GB.128/256GB ssd are still very very common.
