I think Apple should have more memory in their base pro models, but it can not be understated to those who have not used an 8GB Macbook Air how that does not impact day-to-day computer usage compared to a similar spec. Windows machine. I had used an M1 Air with 16Gb for work in the past and was impressed by it but was skeptical of the 8 Gb version. That is until I bought one because it was on sale. If you are doing video editing or using similarly memory intensive applications you will see issues, but you can in a sense say 8GB is ~equivalent to 16 GB on Windows for average use cases.
