Yes they do. A lot of people are really excited about the MacBook and MacBook Pro because they are so thin. I even know somebody with the new MacBook Pro who loves its speed and power while being extremely thin. He said he could not image using his older MacBook Pro (I think it was one from 2013) because it was "too thick and heavy". He didn't really need all the power nevertheless he bought one of the more expensive ones because he thought he did. There are a lot of people who buy powerful MacBooks because it makes them feel important. Some of them tend to be sales people who travel to customers to show off some software on their $2k Hardware although this software runs just fine on a MacBook Air. We are a small bubble who can actually take advantage of much ram (I for one need a lot for VMs and google chrome) but most people do not need more ram. fortunately, this year developers and media professionals were finally fed up with the under specced MacBooks and cried loud enough so that the media heard them. And suddenly a lot of people who already had the MacBooks also thought 8/16GB was not enough and started complaining.
