I do wonder how useful significantly more RAM would be to the majority of iPhone owners until now. I’m sure Apple has tons of metrics collect to decide with.
Adding more would certainly be a price/margin issue. Plus DRAM uses battery even if sitting unused, and battery is precious on a phone. Unless they came up with some sort of hot-plug style option to be able to turn off unused RAM chips completely, which would be cool.

If this selective no-refresh feature isn't already implemented, I would expect Apple to be working on implementing it in their SoCs. But it's such an obvious and simple power saving feature that I would be surprised and disappointed if it wasn't implemented many years ago.
