Yeah this device is not for me, but I'm glad it exists as it means software/OS will have to support 8gb ram for years to come, and my 16gb MacBook will benefit.
Electron/JS/TS would like to have a word with you
Honestly same, I've got a 16gb Macbook Air m2 I bought new a few months ago, and frankly, even if m4 is the first tier to fully kick out 8gb, I'm glad that the Neo means this focus on lower resource use will continue.
What I do suspect though is once all the Neo stock is depleted, they'll either discontinue the whole line or make a new one with some stockpiled a19 chips, but I'm not sure which one... I guess we'll have to wait and see!
