Apps have never really been the main space hog on phones though if you look at the numbers. Average app size is only ~40 MB and (the numbers are a bit sketchier here) the average person has 30-50 apps on their phone so even if we go to an extreme with multiple times the average apps you've only taken up 10-15% of a phones storage with apps. Anecdotally the main perpetrator for wasted space is content; videos, pictures, and (in my case at 29GB) podcasts. https://www.quora.com/How-many-apps-does-the-average-iPhone-user-have-installed https://www.quora.com/How-many-apps-does-the-average-iPhone-...
