I've had "it needs the RAM" while staring at a 15% memory usage plot on a very expensive CI VM. Choosing a 20x cheaper machine had no effect on build time and stability, but this was the PR comment. This overprovisioned machine was possibly $20k. The truth is that developers sometimes require expensive things to get their job done efficiently. The other truth is that we often vastly overestimate the SKU. And we also leave things running.
