The reasons given are RAM compression and SSD paging.
RAM compression has been around since System 7 (Ram Doubler by Connectix), and it sucked. Maybe Apple has implemented it in super fast hardware or something...?
SSD speed is given as 2-3gb/s, while LPDDR3 is around 10gb/s
SSD paging is probably going to reduce its lifespan, unless it's way overprovisioned in which case that storage is wasted for people that don't use lots of ram. And you can't replace the SSD.
