I really would love if phones shipped with discrete memory chips for the OS and user storage, so my '64gb' phone actually presents that to me.

Most Android phones use separate partitions for OS and user data so they could advertise how much user storage they are giving you (as they are very unlikely to re-partition during an update). However AFAIK all manufactures report the full storage size, not just user storage.
