Most modern computers and I think all tablets, are running on SSD's or fusion drives, the need for large amounts of RAM is reduced because, certainly with the Mac, the memory swap outs and effective RAM disk with SSD's make up any shortcomings in actual RAM, in some cases the SSD's are faster than the RAM to the point where RAM is becoming less critical. Software is becoming more efficient and less RAM hungry too.
I believe Apple are making use of the fastest M2 SSD's in the top iPads and MBA'a which I understand are in the region of four times faster than the fastest SATA SSD's, that's FAST.
...and 10x faster than me.
