If anything this just reminds me how frustrating their product line was pre-M1 for so many years. I'm still dealing with the legacy of having to work with people with 16GB as the ceiling and projects that simply do not fit in them.
If RAM is your bottleneck, then you will still have the same problem. Apple still ships 8GB machines.
I'm not speaking 8GB as an end-user problem, but as a developer problem. Most of my developing machines are 32GB+ but I have to create successful workflows for macbooks that only have 16GB.
