    Because there are two types of mac users:

    • People that are buying them with their own money because they’re trendy and just using them as glorified Internet browsers. 16gb is plenty.
    • People using them professionally so their company is paying and Apple can over charge for the necessary memory upgrade

      This pretty much. I don’t care that much that a maxed out MBP is $6000 or whatever, my employer pays for that.

      I have an m2 8 gb. And it’s plenty. It’s just a browsing/discord/stream box basically.
