You also lose any dedicated VRAM. That's an extra 4-8 gigs the Intel Macs have.

If you don't need it, you don't need it but to say 16 gigs on an M1 is somehow "better" seems silly to me.

In the developer use cases I described, video memory should not be a big concern. (Edit - also, my described scenario is on my 2019 13" MBP with 16GB RAM, i5 CPU, and puny Intel GPU.)
