That's because 99% of their customers don't even come close to using 20 GBs of storage. So they can "up" everyone to 200 GB without increasing their costs. And people think they're doing something nice.

Say they put 25 people on one box. Imagine what would happen if all 25 people used 200 GB of storage at once.
