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

The transistors used in RAM are more expensive because they need to work a lot faster than the ones used in storage. That’s why we typically have a lot less RAM than we do storage.

Also, for the vast majority of people right now, there just really isn’t any *need* for more than a few dozen GB of RAM. I’m sure that’ll change in 5, 10, 20 years… but right now, a few dozen GB is all anybody needs.
