That ship has long since sailed. Tell that to Microsoft, Slack, Google, Spotify, Apple (music). By enabling hardware vendors to sell people under-speced memory (for the current software landscape let alone future) it's only doing harm to the users. Making the default base size 16GB would arguably cost Apple next to nothing per machine, but locks individuals into suffering when they (have to) use bloated software. It's not the consumers problem - it's the corporations making money off it.
