The most popular developer machines (MacBook Pro) come with either 8 GB or 16 GB LPDDR3 (not upgreadable).

Intel's Cannon Lake is the only CPU that can use LPDDR4, but they are yet to solve their yield problems.

"unused memory is a waste"

Programs with a bigger working set tend to run slower, because of bottlenecks across the memory hierarchy.

> The most popular developer machines (MacBook Pro)...

That's incorrect. The vast, vast majority of developers around the entire world are running Windows and on a PC, not a Mac.

You are right, Windows is the primary OS developer's use (Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2018: 49.9%) followed by OS X (26.7%).
