Memory limitations

These are the entry-level machines. The limitation is likely one reason Apple is still selling the higher end Intel machines. If you want a more powerful Mac that uses Apple silicon, you’ll have to wait for it. I’m sure they’ll be a long at some point in the future.

I'm hoping someone can help me understand why all the new MacBooks ship with 8gb or memory and a max of 16gb of memory. I understand this to be a limitation of the new M1 chip so I understand the technical reasoning. What I don't get is why Apple would impose this limitation? It just doesn't make sense to me. People who buy MacBook Pro's are professionals who rely on a powerful machine. I don't think I can even run my development software and graphics applications on these new machines without running out of memory. Am I missing something? Please fill me in if it's obvious and I just missed it.

Thanks.
