I have tons of room behind my desk, I have much less room on my desk. I don't want the power brick anywhere near my computer. As for 8gb, do people not see what Apple is doing here? All of their M1 entries are entry level. The true power user work will come, but this gets a lot of people converted over to M1, testing out the software/hardware, giving time for power software suppliers to focus on M1. The additional ram will come (though with M1 it doesn't seem nearly as big of a priority to have more).

There wouldn't really be any increase in desk usage if the power brick was integrated into the display. The stand's size will still be more or less the same even if the display was twice as thick, as it's going to be more about supporting the leverage from the upper part of the display at whatever angles it supports being at rather than a bit of extra thickness & weight in the bottom part of the display. The problem with the brick is it's something you have to cable manage. You need to mount that brick somewhere or have it sitting visibly ugly on the floor. And since it has a port on it, you need to be able to access it more often than you otherwise would. It's classic form over function here. They wanted it to look like a big ipad, and they made compromises to achieve that. It does look nice, but you are paying for that in more than just the MSRP price. If you really care about the minimal amount of desk footprint then get the one with a VESA mount instead & put it on a monitor arm.
