At some point we'll have unified memory and storage anyway. Our brains are already unified in our perception of memory, so I have no problem telling people the storage amount as "memory".

Our brains are not unified. Separating long and short memory makes a lot of sense.

I hope not! All that rubbish we put in RAM doesn't need permanently storing! That's why the distinction exists, plus writing to non-volatile permanent storage systems is slower. Much slower.
