A rather popular hardware site in a developing country, but one on the upper range of "developing". So probably better off than 60% of the world's population:
399 laptops with 4GB of RAM: https://www.pcgarage.ro/notebook-laptop/filtre/memorie-capac...
548 laptops with 8GB of RAM: https://www.pcgarage.ro/notebook-laptop/filtre/memorie-capac...
Less than 200 laptops, in total, with 16GB RAM or more. So probably less than 20% of the laptops on sale have that much memory, in 2018.
The "real" world is quite different to what us folks in IT see in our corner of the world.
