That’s how much space the whole of Debian takes up. Every package for every supported architecture.
A bare minimum installation of Debian is probably around 1GB or so? They recommend at least 4GB space for a server install and 10GB for a desktop.

I find it a surprisingly low value. I can store all the current debian packages in my storage media at home, that's crazy! FOSS really tends to be lean and efficient.

How do you mean low value? I definitely see value in being able to have every package available offline in certain settings.
Maybe you got a cabin with a sick (single player) gaming setup but no internet (I dunno I’m spitballin’) and you want to do some updates.
Pack up a drive with everything possible and make it happen!

I think they meant low value as in low number, said in a positive way (16gb being a lower number than expected rather than a comment on the quality of it) at least that’s how I read it

I mean low value as in a low number. Sorry for the confusion.
