Tired Of Fake Storage Limits

When will that beautiful day come when web hosting companies stop to put up fake storage limits? I am so surprised that all of these actions are legal, and if they aren't legal then I don't understand why there isn't move governance over these things.

I mean, you have a nice and popular company like Media Temple, yet you glance at their usage policy and see this:

Customer may not use hosting account as a remote storage server only. 75% of customer's content files stored on Provider's server must have associated HTML, or PHP files inside the account linking to the content stored on that account.

What is that all about? What kind of legal website would actually use 75GB of storage.

Why doesn't their 100GB limit package have a cheezy star beside it that clearly says "hey, actually you only get 25GB of storage, the rest is just BS and we'll never actually let you use it". What if you buy a can of paint and they say "well, you cannot use this paint for your house, you may only use 25% of it on your house and the rest on your fence". Yea, sounds like a great deal, now I have to buy 4X more paint.

And to counter-act that usage policy, what if I just have an PHP page that is a dynamic directory listing? Isn't that, in essence, a PHP page to which all of the directory content is associated?

Aside from all that, yes I understand the marketing value of big numbers and giving people 100's and 1000's of GB of supposed storage – but how in the hell is that legal?

These companies are charging people for something that is unattainable. Because in 99% of the cases, if you actually use all your disk space, your account will be terminated without notice for some BS reason or because you are using too many processor resources.

Well if you KNOW that using 100GB of disk space will use too many other server resources, why are you selling that quantity of space? Again, it's not actually being sold, it's an illusion, and I absolutely don't understand how it's legal.

Another example would be like, selling a car that can go 500 KM/h but really by the time you reach 400 KM/h you are already out of gas, so you'll never really get to 500 KM/h.

Can they really advertise the car as having a top speed of 500 KM/h? Come on...

Oh and I am not a bitter customer of Media Temple or any other overselling web hosting service, it's just a trend that has been on the rise for some years now and it's really bugging me that somehow all these lies are legal. Next up is "unlimited" web hosting, except you are limited by everything except storage... so yea, not really unlimited. Again... legal?
