I wonder how much more efficient the RAM can be when the manufacturer makes the software and the hardware? It has to help right, I don’t know what a 16 Pro feels like compared to this, but doubt I would notice.

Your OS uses it efficiently, but fundamentally it also limits what app developers can do. They have to make apps with 2-6GB in mind.

Not everything needs a lot of RAM, but LLMs are absolutely an edge case where "more is better, and there's no way around it," and they aren't the only one.
