I use a lenovo laptop, a t15g2 because of 4x dimm slots that let me fit 128gb of ram, and yes, I tend to use that even under linux. I tend to do work and personal business across this device, which includes full separate firefox profiles for each, usually 4-5, and it's not uncommon to see it or chrome/chromium actually using 60-70gb, not just reserved, of ram alone each connected to gapps, teams/orfice365, whatever needed for work.
Throw in almost always using a windoze vm for windoze things for another 8gb, at times other vm's using 4-8gb doing various things for testing, libreoffice with 20 complex spreadsheets, steam games, normal use really, all adds up to a lot of at minimum reserved memory far exceeding physical, at times things ballooning within that, and thus at times getting cranky to still oom occasionally.
I rather wonder who actually uses boxes with only 8gb of ram some still ship with.

Everyone else? :) Joking aside, the majority of people buy the MacBook Air, mostly with the minimum spec. Apple is expensive. If I didn't have to run docker or didn't store media locally, I could very easily use one.
