  Yeah, I don't think it's super common to have that available, in most segments. Although I think Apple doesn't sell computers with less than 8GB RAM, which is used by the GPU as well as the memory is unified. And latest Valve survey says that at least ~54% of people using Steam who participate in the survey, has a GPU with 8GB or more. According to https://web3dsurvey.com/webgpu https://web3dsurvey.com/webgpu WebGPU enjoys a whopping ~6% browser support. But the previous two segments are very small ones, if you compare to everywhere computers are being used. Coupled together with that WebGPU is hardly enabled anywhere, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe only ~1% of everyone using their own computer have access to 8GB VRAM + can use WebGPU. So yeah, bit weird to say everyone when looking at the requirements of 8GB VRAM + WebGPU enabled browser.

    > WebGPU enjoys a whopping ~6% browser support. That's actually not too bad considering that WebGPU hasn't been released yet (the number will drastically go up when Chrome 113 is out of beta)
