You're comparing strictly CPU memory bandwidth to CPU + GPU. If you add CPU + GPU bandwidth for a PC you'll get similar numbers.

If NVMe bandwidth was increased it would be less noticeable and lead to more SSD thrashing. There's a decent chance the soldered on SSD's would die before the end of the warranty period and they can't have that.

A 'pro' machine should probably have more RAM than a Raspberry Pi.
A bump stock is barely a weapon modification. There are videos of people using nothing but a wooden dowel to bump fire.
In the same way that Nvidia is going with it's 'founders edition', slowly squeeze out 'partner's.
This has the added bonus of blocking non disposable controllers that use hall effect sensors that don't suffer from stick drift.
