How is it not already? MBAs with 8 GB of RAM run great. Macs are incredibly good with memory management.

That's right. It's not the native Apple apps that are the problem. Safari, iWork, Logic, even Final Cut run perfectly fine in 8Gb if you adjust your expectations (if you want to process 8K video you probably need more).
It's third-party apps like Chrome or Teams that eat gigabytes.
Chrome runs on 8 GB perfectly fine, like a dream.
I don't see too many students running Teams.

You’re already sad if your using Teams, suffering is part the experience.
Last week I met someone who likes Teams. That’s a first for me.
It's probably not that bad if you ONLY use it for video calls and you've never used Slack before.
Yes Chrome easily eats up 5+ gb ram when having the azure admin portal open in a tab. Whose fault is that though?
Let’s see… if the same problem happens under Safari, then it’s Microsoft fault. If the problem goes away when Safari runs the Azure admin portal, it’s a Google issue.
Developers should have laptops with 1366x768 screens, 4GB if RAM, and dual-core Intel Atom processors. We keep giving them server grade hardware and expect them to empathise with the muggles that run their software on potatoes.

Clearly not Apple's.
