I do not want to have to think about whether or not a certain collection of books and music fits in the measly 1 Gb of storage I am allowed to use. It should not be an issue.

Because of how market choices are made.
Even if it's indeed "not that expensive", having 32GB instead of 2 is not free, actually it comes with a cost that may cause some people not to buy the product, the very same ones which are perfectly happy with 2GB of space, even the 1.2GB truly available.
I do concur with the above poster : that should be a vast majority of us.
As for the rest, I believe that the choice of having a small amount of core memory and giving users the ability of expanding it through SD cards is a very sensible one.
Fixed, fairly low price and scalable memory size.
That sounds like a clever deal indeed, market wise.
