At this point i don't see why we would need more RAM for basic OS or web usage tbh.

Like we’ve hit a point where things are covered. Obviously this won’t stop capitalists from doing capitalist bullshit though… and bloat is a thing.

    Not going to disagree, but "web usage" is basically everything. You can literally run an entire desktop operating system from 2007 on a virtual machine emulated in JavaScript in your browser now.
