It's an illuminating experience to go to a store with Apple computers with 8GB of RAM on display, and browse to a RAM-heavy unoptimized website like YouTube or even Reddit now.

Open a few tabs.
Open a dozen.
You'd be surprised what a decently coded OS can pull off without compromising on the visuals.
