Shouldn't that be "Live and Let Die"?

... well, on android smartphones, is getting out of hands ! I think that you need at least decent 32Gb for the OS to run stable with Chrome as a browser, and even 64Gb if you want it to last a bit. My current smartphone is running really well, but has "only" 16Gb memory. 13,8Gb are eaten by Android itself (7Gb) and other mandatory apps from the Google ecosystem which I have no use of (about 7Gb as well). The remaining 2,2Gb are barely sufficient to allow the smartphone to run properly, since android heavily relies on swapping to run.
A google play update usually takes up additional 100 to 200Mb, and that happens every other month. At that pace, I can throw away my smartphone in about 4 months due to lack of ROM.  (And yes, I moved everything movable to a SD card).
I wonder how it is possible that there are still smartphones sold with 8Gb or 16Gb memory, knowing that this is not sufficient to even use the bare smartphone after a few months... And the fact that everything relies on built-in memory instead of SD is just insane.
Now that I think about it, it is actually similar to a laptop I bought for my son last year with a 128Gb SSD with the OS and a 1Tb disk for data. Windows takes up 123Gb (!!!) by now on the SSD drive, and since some programs insist on putting at least minimum installation files under program files on that same disk, I am now more or less forced to upgrade this disk to a 500Gb SSD.

I have a 3 GB ram phone (with 32 GB internal storage), it never happened that I crossed the 2 GB usage...
I do not use Chrome, but Firefox. Use Email, WhatsApp, Waze, Gmail and phone as phone in daily basis...
At his very moment I use 60% of the 3 GB and 22% of the 32 GB...
You may investigate the actual usage (per-app)...

I am talking about internal storage here - I can't believe that you have only 8Gb (22%) of your internal storage with android + play + Gmail + ... I have about twice as much with the same setup.
BUT you have 32Gb, not 16Gb anyway

Services Google Play takes only 246 MB and Google Play only 86 MB on my phone for instance (all updated for latest before check)...
That's alone a huge difference... I do not know why...

Interesting (I have 8.0.0). And since there is absolutely no details as to what "Service Google Play" exactly is, no way to check what is eating up that much space on my phone
I also noticed that the YouTube app takes up 440Mb after empyting the cache. I do not even use it and cannot be uninstalled (since part of Google). 
Damn.

Google play services are all the backend APIs that sit between the OS and apps. They were carved out from the OS something like a decade ago so that your phone wasn't frozen on the API level it came out with at release; but instead its apps could get most new features added with newer android versions.  Also because taking them out of AOSP meant that Amazon Kindle tablets wouldn't have them, making porting apps harder.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google Play Services on my Motorola phone is taking 517 MB. I think this service uses the internal storage as a cache for those who use the nearly defunct (Google has announced they're killing it sometime this fall) Play Services.

It maybe has something to do with the Android version? I'm running Oreo (8.1.0)...

I have an 8.0 Gb Nokia 1 phone that is almost two years old, and am nowhere near running out of memory. But then I am a bit weird as I actually think it's a phone, and use it as such.
