Most of the people who are saying that that 8gb is not enough haven’t actually used one.
A lot of them extrapolate that because their Mac with 16/24/32gb uses more than 8gb doing basic tasks, 8gb is not enough.
They don’t consider that modern OS’s and browsers are happy to use RAM that they don’t need because it is just sitting there otherwise.
The rest have memory heavy workflows (docker or VMs, usually).
