16gb of RAM is "standard", because it came with your NZ$4000 computer? Not everyone is privileged enough to be able to drop that kinda cash on a computer, and may have to compromise.

Also, spin up a couple of VMs and you might get towards the limit faster.

100% agree with the business case, but "I have lots of RAM available therefore everyone in the world has lots of RAM available" feels like a poor leap of logic.

This. It also says a lot about how much we're ripped off in the Shaky Isles.
