Ahh so much you must learn young swimwalker. The force is strong in this one. See the adds at the side that apple pays millions to have lots of pod ads in thats how they make the money. Each click earns money for google. spread into millions of accounts adds up quick, impulse buyers are the best targets, the computers they user dont dedicate 1Gb of space to you they just store the data very few people will fill a GB of emails. so the overall space used is a lot smaller the system will indicate if its getting anywhere near full (we are talking 100s of TBs of data overall) then they just get a few new drives plug them in and away they go again.
Simply the more users they have the more money they make, the search bar brings you to another google page with yet more targeted ads, and if you translate a page etc yet more. Google aim to swamp you subconciously into clicking. so the more services you use the more exposure you have.
