I don't see Google raising that storage limit anytime soon. They've spent the past 2 years years trying to get rid of storage requirements on their end. They combined drive, email, and photo storage in the same storage limit. They're about to start trimming inactive Google accounts. The plan here is to push people into the higher 1TB plan which might be more profitable for them. I'm amazed the price for the plans have held steady. I'd expect a price increase from either Google or OneDrive.

They just needed to offer lots of storage so they could kill off Dropbox, now that it's mostly dead for consumers, it's time for Google to make money with their monopoly. Even though storage prices have gone way down.
