Essentially, RAM comes in small sizes (8, 16, 32 GB) but storage is in TB? Why is
this? Would more RAM be better?

A single 64GB stick of RAM costs around $400 US (depending on specs it can be less or more, but not by a lot in most cases).
For that same $400 you can get a 2TB solid state hard drive or an 18TB spinning disk hard drive.
Price per GB:
RAM: $6.25
SSD: $0.20
HDD: $0.02
Basically, each tier is an order of magnitude more expensive, but its also much faster.
