128GB baseline storage for the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels stingy, huh?

I mean I've got all my photos I've ever taken, I take videos in 4k, all my music downloaded in lossless alac, and I've got plenty of space on my 128gb pixel
My Pixel records 4K video at about 8MB/sec. That means 128GB would hold like 4 hours of video tops.
mine seem closer to 6mb/s. idk its enough for me so
My music library alone is nearly 280GB, and all the pictures/video I've taken are over 450GB. No way I'm fitting all that into 128GB. That doesn't take into account any media I want to watch offline, or any games I may choose to load onto my phone.
This is why I like having an micro SD card slot (and headphone jack) and don't like that if I upgrade to a Pixel, I'll lose it.
how much music? pictures? also, why keep all your pics on a phone? offload them to your computer or cloud or something
I do offload a lot of it, I have my own server, I run my own streaming service(s). But I like keeping my music library offline for scenarios when I don't have internet available. I don't really keep my photos all on my phone. Of course, Google would love it if I offloaded all my stuff to their cloud and Google Photos and such, and paid for the privilege instead of hosting everything myself or having an SD card.
I just think 128GB is a pitifully small amount for anyone with any significant amount of media they want to carry.
