Macs have always been RAM starved at the base models. It always struck me as surprisingly cheap move from what was meant to be a premium company — they would happily sell you a Mac that would perform badly with contemporary software. But you could upgrade it yourself, of course, and that’s what all the old Macheads would advise you do. These days… urg! Their SSDs are ridiculously tiny too, which I think is even more egregious. My computing habits might not require more RAM in the future, but my storage requirements always go up.
