No, there are more and more reasons... (1) We have more and more things we'd like to carry with us that take up more and more space. (2) Fewer and fewer people in America and other countries have unlimited data plans. (3) Lots of us take things like subways which have no internet access. (4) Cloud privacy is a disaster thanks to the NSA, poor security implementations at cloud companies, regular intrusions of providers, regular intrusions of network infrastructure (example: ASUS and Netgear routers), etc (5) Obscene markups of memory sizes above base by manufacturers (6) Inability of consumers to get many phones with more than 32GB of storage and artificial limiting of supply on some providers (see: the incredibly stupid decision to make the HTC One 64GB an AT&T exclusive) (7) etc etc Yes, Google wants you to use the cloud and have everything in your Google Drive. For most of us, it's a bad idea from a financial, convenience and privacy perspective.
