I don't think disagreeing with you will change Apple's mind or make what you say any less true. People don't realize how much storage and memory characteristics have changed. Between sub-usec latency and multi-GB throughput, it's no longer a two-week trek through the Yukon for every disk access, and there's no performance benefit to buying the largest ice chest you can afford to store your rations to prevent swapping. Mac storage is faster today than memory was back when they were maxing it out.
