macOS market share is actually 20% on desktop/laptops despite Macs selling only about ~8-10% of total PCs worldwide. ------ So that's older Macs still in use and doesn't mean that the current 8GB Macs is still trending that way.

Yes, there is no guarantee that Macs are trending that way. However, I have a feeling that Apple Silicon Macs, even with 8GB, will last very longer than Intel Macs with the same amount of memory in the past.

Ten years ago, Macbook Pro was equipped with 4GB RAM. Back then, the Macbook Pro hardware led the PC industry. Pro is a real Pro. today, you’re saying that it’s enough.

Macbook Pro hardware still leads the industry in my opinion. And has a bigger lead than ever.
