Any reason why HTC cheated us on ROM?

I just keep looking at numerous devices, and HTC ones and wonder what was HTC thinking when they gave us such little ROM?

COST. Those 4g radios are probably spendy.

Less than 1% of users need more ROM than we have. Personally I'm glad that I wasn't forced to pay more money for practically useless memory.
