Gotcha; seems I may have misinterpreted your original post. I do think that the 2->3 GB update was meaningful; I believe that using a web browser like the Firefox ESR version on my current Mobian version can eat up some RAM, so the extra GB actually difference for more compute-intensive tasks, but there's diminishing returns past this point for most cases. I personally agree that using 'need' to describe modern flagship specs is probably a little strong.
