4gb isn't really a negligible amount, given the amount of desktops and laptops sold with just a 256gb ssd

Exactly. Nand is expensive. I upgraded what my laptop came with but after installing a few games, cloning repositories over the years, various projects I've done, and other regular use, it's perpetually full. 4GB is probably about half the space I have free at any given time

Which apparently means it'll never install btw, even if I were to run Chrome. Another comment said they check for 22GB free space

Even so, I would still let them download double that, if they reduced the RAM consumption in half
