Storage is cheap. I suggest focusing on spending the time setting up tools that find and resurface the 10%. Photos widget on iOS, photos shuffle lockscreen on iOS, etc. I’m biased (I worked on those), but anything in that style tools is great.

That's no good reason to fill it with 20 photos of the same butterfly.

And how will I even find the butterfly? It's lost within the 200 photos of the same hills.

Do not assume I ever pruned photos before downloading them off my phones and cameras, because I did not.

Use Llava or similar to generate text descriptions of all of your photos, then search for "butterfly".
