8GB isn't enough for everyone, but it is enough for a lot of common consumer tasks. If you check out comparisons between the 8GB and 16GB M1 models, it's surprising how hard you have to push them before the difference in RAM becomes apparent. I personally would have liked to see Apple bump up the base spec to 16GB. But hey, the 16GB models are available if you need them.
