It takes up that much because the operating system and other essential files take up 7.62GB. It varies a little between different iPhone 6 variants, but the figure you cite is not unusual.

There's no fix, it is what it is. That's why I always buy my iPhones with the largest amount of storage offered by Apple, so I currently use a three year old iPhone 6 with 128GB. That means that for me, the OS only takes up a nibble of my total available storage where for you it represents a big bite out of the total. It could be worse: you could have a lowly 16GB shared with the OS.

You can improve matters by subscribing to iCloud at the cheapest monthly subscription (mine is £2.99 pie month) so that your phone then stores as much data as possible to iCloud and only fetches it back to your phone when required. That also allows you to set the iPhone to perform automatic backups so that if you ever need to restore your iPhone to factory defaults, you can quickly and easily restore your data back to the phone.

Its a 32GB iPhone for the record in your case. For my 128GB iPhone it takes up 9.32GB.

I don't know the specifics but that sounds fairly close to normal as far as what iOS usually takes up. You could try other means of clearing space. Usually that section would detail possible options to do so.
