I have nothing to complain about. I knew the "full" capacity of the
internal storage wasn't available for my use,

Where did you discover this knowledge? What did you know that led you
to seek it out? My computer has RAM and ROM internally, and whatever
size hard drive(s) I want to add. Less RAM/ROM means stuff works
slower, but is entirely independent of the size of the hard drive. Is
it such a leap to assume that Android phones are similarly organized?

Years of experience with computers. Android devices are computers, and
work on the same principles.

just as the "full"
capacity of my computer's hard drives aren't available. I've known it
for decades.

The majority of the HD space is NOT unavailable, though.


It can be, if it's small enough. I have a computer that dual boots with
Windows XP and Mageia Linux. Just a few weeks ago, I shrank my XP
partition to create a "test" partition for the latest Mageia release, so
I could try it out on the hardware. As it turned out, the test space was
enough to install the system and test the hardware, but there wasn't
enough user space to do much more than that. I certainly couldn't
install and test all the Linux apps that I use regularly.

Now, with Mageia I had the option of installing a smaller, lighter
system, but that would have made the test invalid.
