I think it’s less about $/GB (though that always matters) and more about power usage. As much as people love having 16GB of RAM, the extra memory will get used (fill RAM then swap right?) and active LPDDR5 memory uses quite a bit of power I think.

My 18 Gb mbpro is currently at 80% battery and estimates 12 hours left. Isn't that enough? ;)
