Well, 4GB was getting weak ten years ago.  My last decade has been
dominated by my Ivy Bridge machine, which had 8GB and did just fine,
really, and my Skylake machine, which still gets used and has 16GB.
My Alder Lake machine has 32GB.

RAM has gotten cheaper (& rarely hurts), but when there's COLA boys who
are loathe to spend more than $50 for an entire machine,

Yeah?  And some, like vallor, are not.

Again, asshole, you pretend that Linux users are any different than
are people at large.  It's true that some are cheap.  But some are
extravagant.  The vast majority are reasonable and somewhere

In the corporate world, the tech refresh cycle fo equipment and that includes everything
from mainframe iron to x86 PCs both desktop and server revolves around how the the
iron was sold in the first place which is usually 1 year of warranty and 2-4 years of maintenance
coverage by the vendor.

So in general happens as the contracts are expiring, the client is offered a deal on the
latest and greatest by the marketing divisions of said companies be it Dell, IBM, HP or whomever.

Bottom line it's cheaper to tech refresh and get the latest rather than renewing contracts on  older
hardware.

Tinse and repeat every 3-4 years or so.
