The current (market) price for 64 GB of RAM is roughly the same as the price of a modern console. So doing that would essentially double the price of the console.

Double the cost, not necessarily the price. And maybe not even double, considering the price is already under-valuated, and buying tons of RAM chips from the factory must be cheaper than market price.
