What basis makes this comment apply to _everyone_ ?

I am a jerk. Trolling aside, I'm always a bit skeptical about the application, and roll my eyes (same as when people freak out about the processor on their smartphone). If you're sure it will make a difference though... you'd be like the one person out of ten that upgrades and sees a substantial improvement. Guess I can't help myself, and will accept my downvotes.

I think he's joking as in the early Microsoft/Bill Gates statement about memory.

I hope so. I'm sitting at 68% memory utilization on a 16GB MBP _without_ any VMs running.

Everytime a manufacturer limits a new model in 2020 to a max of 16GB, I wonder if they really understand with high end work laptops or desktop are really being used for.

Yep. 14.61GB out of 16GB here, on my 2015 MBP. No VMs running.
