Honestly Apple holding the line on memory probably helps pressure developers to optimise. When people say they need 16gb of ram to have a browser with 200 tabs, a chat messaging program, and an audio player I really wonder what they're smoking. That could be done on maybe 4gb, 8gb would make it easier to handle things like tabs with high resolution video. You only NEED ram for what is actively being used. If you aren't actively using 199 tabs, you don't need them in memory.
