The issue is more about people changing their devices too often: I remember from years ago (so possibly outdated) that the average person changes smartphone every two years and laptop every 3/4 years. What OP is saying is that most people could totally work with an older laptop that doesn't have 16GB+ of RAM. Especially since most people are using cloud services anyway.

Most people also have zero say. A few people complain that Teams locks up their machine? Time for a batch of 500 new laptops!

It happens a lot.

And I can't blame people for complaining. I blame the bad Electron apps.
