FTA:

> Hardware Specs > […] > Memory: 4GB LPDDR4 RAM > Storage: 16GB eMMC

In contrast, https://openwrt.org/supported_devices says:

> Sufficient Flash to accommodate OpenWrt firmware image

> 8MB min (bare minimum)

> 16MB better (will fit other applications)

> Sufficient RAM for stable operation

> 64MB min

> 128MB better

So, that’s 64 times the RAM, 1024 times the flash memory. If that’s necessary, what is it used for? If not, why pay for it?
