This is a logical fallacy.

Do i need an industrial level fruit juicer, to get a glass from two oranges at home? No. Does that mean no one needs an industrial juicer, period? No.

My main machine has had 32gb of ram for the last decade, even if you exclude developer workflows. Most of my peers are getting as much too. Whether we want it or not, hardware demands are increasing, as software capabilities are going up too.

And that’s not even accounting for that the Deck has shared memory, which limits it even further
