Went from 64GB to 8GB. Didn't notice a difference - infact it is better. I kind of get your mindset but they have done some fuckery somewhere to get it to work so good.

My M1 Air with 16GB feels way more responsive and behaves better under load than my 64GB hex-core beast of a desktop I built late last year.

It's like the old days when I could put BeOS on a Pentium with two-digit MB of memory and it'd feel as good and responsive in actual use as a newer desktop clocked 6-8x higher and with 8x the memory, running Windows or Linux.
