Could this be because they don't understand how much faster it can be -- the slowness is an accepted cost of doing work?
I've recently run virtualbox/vagrant/docker on an air from ~3 years ago, and it's painfully slow compared to my 3-yo system with 32GB RAM. It works perfectly fine, but it's slow.

That may be true. It may also be true that people with 8GB laptops vastly underestimate the benefit of having more memory available for development workloads.
