Why does digital storage always have the same values eg. 32gb, 64gb, 128gb, 256gb etc. and why do they double every time they go up in size? Is this a limitation or just a standard?

The answer is cost. Let’s say you have a recipe for a doughnut. With the recipe for one, it’s easier to make two and four and the multiples so on but difficult for the values inbetween. Now imagine this for hundreds of thousands of storage devices. Would you make facilities for fixed, easier to manufacture versions? Or would you spend millions to make a three and a half quarter disk?
