I call BULL CRAP on this. My family and I have owned iPhones for MANY years and have never had to get a new iPhone because of storage being used up. And when you have kids they store a mammoth amount of data on their phones.
I do remember the “download a big movie and then delete it” hack. Didn’t think that would still be useful.
Given all that, I can see Apple not fixing something like this because it might break all sorts of other stuff.
I have run into it three times. With my first iPhone, it was several versions old and after one particular update all my extra storage was disappearing. ISame thing with my second, but it actually bricked on an update due to the FireWire slot being loose and the cable not having a good connection. I have not taken any pictures with my most current phone in the last several months, nor have I added music. But I'll be dipped if my current phone all of the sudden is out of space again. Last month, it wasn't even 65% full.

I’m inclined to agree with you. My IPhone 14 pro is almost 3 years old, and I only have 31 gigs used, out of 256gigs storage.
