What's the point? Game devs will design games to run on most (or at least > 0.1%) devices so when would this be useful?

Presumably better task switching. If you switch between several applications, fewer of them will be evicted from memory, so they'll come up right away where they were instead of relaunching when you switch back to them.

13” MacBook Pros come with 8GB of RAM by default, even on the “higher end” models. Upgrading to 24GB is a $400 option.

It’s a criminally low amount of RAM given that some phones can have 24GB, even if that is a pricier phone/option.
