I came to the opposite conclusion. I think most users than expected paid for the 16GB models, leaving extra inventory of the 8GB modules. During black Friday/Cyber monday I saw several discounts on 8GB M1 systems, but none on the 16GB systems. Hopefully that sends a message to apple to build systems with more memory. Seems insane to invest in a expensive M1 system (once you add storage, 3 year warranty, etc) and get only 8GB. Even it works well today, with a useful life of 3-6 years seems likely the extra 8GB will have significant value over the life of the system... even if it's just to reduce wear on the storage system.
