Is there anything I can do about this extremely vague block of data that’s taking up 30% of my phone’s storage? Mind you, this isn’t the operating system itself, as that’s listed as its own category.

Also, it’s not true for RAM either. The OS will automatically cache files as it sees fit. Helps with video players and the like.
how does that mean it’s not true for RAM tho? caching is about the time it takes to (compute and) load things into the RAM and RAM r/w operations are pretty much always faster than disk
Because the people that say “unused RAM is wasted RAM” have zero understanding of what file caching is and think that RAM only includes program data.
file caching is making use of unused ram which is what people mean by “unused ram is wasted ram”. you are saying the same thing.
