It's about deminishing returns, the more ram you have the more likely you need to move bytes around.

For applications that are moving more bytes from drives to memory, this means we need to wait for the transfer and we end up preferring to delegate these applications to the cloud instead of running on our own machine, because servers are where the ram is increasing and abundant.

So basically we are doing a lot more big ram computation elsewhere and doing small ram computation on our desktop
