Because they promised something else. In fact, they lied by omission. They promised 32GB and kept quiet about the fact that only 5GB is accessible for sideloaded books. That's lying in my book.
To say nothing of the fact that these games with partitioning are petty, and doubly so for doing it in secret, like B&N were too cowardly to admit it out loud or something. No other vendor does this.
Edit: as to running into the 5GB limit, yes, I have done it on my 8GB Oasis 2. My whole calibre library is close to 50GB.
