My MacBook's ideal RAM usage is generally 10-11Gb/16Gb on normal conditions with a couple of windows open on safari and running a Youtube video.

Why are you concerned?

You paid for 16GB RAM, why would you not want to use it?

Your Mac manages memory very well. When the RAM Memory Pressure graph turns red, then yolu may have an issue.
