I think they are able to get away with 64gb is largely because other phones have moved up to 4k@60fps. Those files are around 400mb per 1 minute with HEVC.
Pixel is still stuck at 4k@30fps. When Google ever decides to upgrade their camera lens and video capabilities, that 64gb will not be feasible.
FYi, the Pixel 4 camera lens sensor is the same Sony sensor used in the Pixel 3. The sensor does not support 4k@60fps. So next year they need an entirely new camera sensor if they want to upgrade video.
Google supposedly said that is why they didn't do the 4k@60.. Storage.
