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

Ram is like the open space on a desk. Storage is like a closet full of things you can use. Anytime you want to do something you have to take a program out of the closet and open it on the desk. Anytime you shut the machine off your desk gets wiped clean. So it’s just the nature of the beast to have a lot more things stored but not being used at the moment in the closet, versus things you are using at the moment open on the desk. Theoretically you could open everything if you had enough desk space but its expensive, wasteful of resources and unnecessary. It’s just easier to keep a couple things open that you’re working on and shut the things off that you weren’t saving desk space.
