The 8gb ram MacBook works great for your average Mac user. The person who uses it for writing resumes and surfing YouTube which I'm sure is a huge chunk of the market. Devs/Gamers/power users can't make do with 8gb, but my sister in law who just does paper work and teams meetings all day is served well by her 2016 laptop, and wouldn't have any issue with an 8gb MacBook.
Except it's cost 3x more than average 8GB ram laptops
Not cost effective by any means, but then again none buys apple for cost effective anything. Some people just the brand it seems 🤦
