I don't think author of this piece understands how RAM works in Windows 10 or modern app nowadays, having allocated RAM and actually using it are two very different things
while in past 2GB RAM after launch of Windows seemed fixed regardless of how much RAM you have, nowadays, Windows will just take large portion of RAM regardless of whether you have 4, 8, 16 or 32, it's not fixed number and it's not required number
for instance I am running Windows 10 on laptop with 8GB RAM and I have currently available 3GB RAM with Edge and other app I use for work consuming combined 1.5-2GB RAM, so by author's logic Windows takes less than 3GB in total
