You're going to have to do better than vague remembrances to make that point compelling.
In the age of mobile gaming, apps and content stores, it's absurdly easy even for non-technical users to fill up their devices. I buy that not everyone filled up their 2003 iPod. And that's probably the root of what you're recalling – Apple figured out they could sell a much smaller one and people would still buy. Today is different.
Either way, if you're a company selling devices with different tiers of storage, the spec clearly matters to the person making decisions based on that spec.
I remember reading a statistic somewhere that said the vast majority of device owners do not fill up the entire storage of the device. So I'm not entirely convinced that it matters at all.
