If your use case needs more RAM then simply chose the 16GB option.

8GB RAM is fine for a large portion of casual users and if it keeps the base price down I'm okay with it.

It should not cost $200 for 8gb of RAM. Apple has been asking this price for like 10 years. It's ridiculous.

Yes I wanted the 16GB one since 32GB is not available yet on Apple M1. But Apple sells a premium laptop that is not good enough for many of their users. That's a fact. 8GB is ridiculous and Apple is rich enough to afford 16GB by default on their premium "pro" laptops.
