You missed the point of my statement. SSDs are far faster than physical HDDs, therefore you can get away with providing less RAM. And the lifespan of a modern SSD is the same as a HDD. But yes, they are cheaping out by providing only 8GB, unless you pay hundreds more.

SSDs are faster than HDDs but they’re not as fast as RAM.

And in the case of these Macs, the SSD is also soldered. So you’re screwed when you wear it out with the excessive swapping.
