Im amazed that SSD companies still release 128 and 256 drives, its completely useless, for starters 1TB is hovering near 120$ mark [Corsair MP510 124$] so 512, 256 and especially 128gb price difference is minimal, its all in 10-15$ near each otehr, so buying smaller drive is not economical, why limit yourself in size to save 15-30$ which is nothing, not a real save.
Smaller driver are MUCH slower and have lower TBW.
With current price we should see 500, 1tb and 2tb with 500 being the minimum and where is 4TB? Right now 4TB is more then twice more expensive then buying two 2TB drives and almost no one sells them, i haven't seen any as NVMe and only 2-3 SATA models, thats it
BTW, Yesterday Corsair MP510 was permanently reduced to 256$ for 2TB drive and today Silicon Power 2Tb was reduced to 229$

From a PC Gamers desktop mindset, you are spot on. However, these value drives often end up in laptops as upgrade for a 2.5" HDD or small internet PCs.
Also, you'd be surprised how many gamers have a 128GB or 256 GB SSD for OS, and then a Terabyte+ HDD as combo.
