Why do i need to purchase additional storage from iTunes at $2.99 mo?

I don't recall receiving any explanation as to why I might need additional storage from Apple. I have a new Mac desktop and a newer iPhone. I don't see why I need to purchase extra storage especially when iTunes never has allowed me to download the music i purchase through iTunes a long time ago. What gives?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

You would only need to buy more iCloud storage if you had already filled up the storage you currently have.

5GB of storage is free.
