RAM is literally the one part you can upgrade later on without throwing away the old part. Why would I want to "future proof" it?

That's only true if you're not a dumbass who falls for muh ram speed meme, because if you are, you might think "oh I should get 2×4 GB instead of 1×8, so it'll be faster", and when you upgrade you either throw away your 2×4 GB and put in 2×8, or get another 2×4 GB but the you can't upgrade it further without throwing all the shit away.
And it's just really dumb to buy a PC that has the minimum amount of RAM needed to run recent games. Just literally open chrome and you're fucked (I'm talking from experience here).
>buy one 8gb stick
>add another one when/if needed
Are you retarded, OP?

Good thing Firefox is so easy on my ram
Games have been kind to RAM these past years.

OK I guess nobody cares about that

>these past years
Doesn't account for the present.
There are really only a handful of games that use a lot of ram. Planetary Annihilation, Anno 2505 and Cities: Skyline come to mind.

This especially annoys me with regards to web development. Not only are browsers getting needlessly bloated, but wevsites are no longer designed to run efficiently. 10 yearsbago I still had a few hundred tabs, and no more problems than I do today.

RAM requirements are wrong for very simple reason: bloat installed by computer manufacturers.
Just because the game developer says 8GB is required it doesn't mean it really is. They just recommend 8GB instead of 4GB to be sure.
current gen console don't use any more ram
game devs don't optimize for anything more powerful than that
