The whole 1gb is fine sounds like the old “nobody will need more than 64k of ram” is all

It has been almost 25 years and it is still perfectly fine for almost everyone. By the time it will not be good enough anymore, those “almost everyone” are not going to run cable anywhere. Wireless has long replaced wired connections for the vast majority of people. If anything, it will have to be based on USB-C.

And while RAM went up and up and up back then, 16 GB have been standard for 10 years now. The development is at a point with diminishing returns.
