Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

Apple says 8GB is dandy for most mainstream tasks but that's not actually true.

Such a weird hill to die on for Apple. How much does it really cost to just add 8GB more RAM? $5?
Acknowledging that 8GB only delivers mediocre performance at best would upset anyone who already bought a device with only 8GB. And as later upgrades are not supported by Apple it would abandon these users like buyers of a 1st gen Apple device...
The fun think is that I don't think apple would mind abandoning these people. Most of them would just buy a new device.
My guess is they're going to sell like hotcakes to clueless parents whose kids insist their first laptop needs to be apple
Its all on-die not on the board, so Apple gets to charge you more.
