That's true..  When buying a larger hard drive, I always felt like it would be hard to fill it all up, but it seems it always gets filled up eventually.

That's true too.  It's interesting to learn what programmers did in the 80s with so little RAM available on computers & similar devices back then.  And these days, when computers could have 32GB, 64GB, or more RAM (and it's a lot less expensive than it used to be), we don't need to worry so much about that anymore.
