Superior Rune of Holding too expensive
Did the math and it doesn’t make any sense to me. A superior rune of holding costs 10g and is required to craft a 20 slot bag. 4 gold will easily get you 400 gems (closer to 800) which is enough to get an extra bag slot. That leaves another 6 gold to craft 2 10-slot bags. You could even get 2 18 slot bags and 2 extra bag slots for less than it would cost to make 1 20 slot bag.
That means that the only point in getting a 20 slot bag is for the novelty of it, but you can’t even really show it off. I suppose if you bought all of the bag slot upgrades and then wanted to fill them with 20 slot bags… but I don’t even know what the max number of bag slots you can buy is, and that is a lot of inventory spaces.
Last I checked (last night), 4g will get you at least 800 gems.
Buying extra character slots is also fairly efficient for getting extra storage space.

The point would be to get extra inventory space on your character running around, so that wouldn’t quite meet the same need. Bank slots are also well under 10 gold.
Ah, right, sorry.
Nonetheless, while it’s better to just buy extra bag slots initially, that analysis doesn’t apply when you’ve already got full bag slots and 18 slot bags. If you want to have more than 146 slots in your inventory, 20 slot bags are your only option.
You could argue that there is little to no reason to have that much inventory space in the first place, but while most people (myself included) would agree with you, it’s a matter of personal preference.
Yes, a lot of prices seem to have been pulled out of thin air, without anyone at Arena Net bothering to do the maths. In many cases, if you’re going to buy more than a few bank slots and / or character slots, it’s cheaper to simply buy a second account (which has the extra advantage of letting you mail things to your other characters from anywhere).

Eh my view is that eventually you will have so much gold laying around why not just craft 20 count bags. Its a money sink. Nothing more nothing less in my eyes.
