My first PC in 2013 had 8GB, my current one from 2018 has 16GB and the next one will need 32GB.

Windows using shitloads of RAM forces people to upgrade and if they do, application developers stop caring about RAM and just waste it, so even non-windows devices need to be upgraded to do the same basic stuff they did before.

Netflix using react means it takes a solid 2 minutes to start on my android TV, so now I get to either accept that, stop using it or go through the hell of finding an android TV box that isn't just spyware in a box.
