Even at those inflated prices storing Google Chrome itself is $0.20. Most libraries aren't 500mb.

If you want to use your device for about 6 years, you have to consider how big these apps are going to be in 6 years. Google Chrome is not going to be 50mb in 6 years.

It's 500MB today; would be fun to see a graph of how it has changed over time. It looks like Chrome 1 was 9MB (for Windows)
