Even if people running instances are saints, a lot of money can not only buy, but bully them into submission. Bullshit lawsuits is one way to do so before they are financially crippled. We are safeguarded only by our irrelevance.

Also seeing how everything windows or chromium wants the minimum of 8GBs now, doubling that becomes the point of comfort now, and quadrupling it seems like a reasonable go-to if you want guaranteed years of work without upgrades. With how SSDs became mandatory, it won’t take long devs would assume 16 is the new 8, especially if these stats kinda approve that pov.
