why do Android Apps Take Up So Much Space ? Do The Math!!!

this is making very irritated and disillusioned with Android all together. It's not to
hard to figure out, but for some reason it seems to be in the programming world!

Like a App that is supposedly 20 Megs, takes like 50 megs once installed?

you see an apk size in google play which is like a zip containing all the data so when the data is extracted it will be of much bigger size but not much. Most apps download additional data after installing

Some games now are way over a gig to d/l. I'm still trying to figure how most base model phones are only coming with 16 GB standard. Half the time with no SD card slot for storage. Grrr.. Just ranting.
