Plus Apple likes shipping lower end/cheaper devices to people who won't buy the high end.
When your low end configuration is hard to use because Facebook takes up 29% of the storage... that's a problem. Customers get mad.
When they can't update Facebook because it wants more space and the device is full and now the user is locked out from their friends... customers get mad.
When updating a handful of apps uses up 70% of their monthly data... users get mad.

And ALL of that effects apple's bottom line.
