I realize this should be a joke, but I am still unsure if it is.
It is 100% a joke. Literally other than Windows being slightly more RAM hungry, there's not a huge difference between it and Mac's RAM
Memory is memory. If an application requires a lot of memory then it really doesn't matter what speed that memory is it's more important that there's enough of it.
There are plenty of applications that could theoretically run on the M2 MacBook in terms of processing capacity but can't run because there isn't enough RAM available. Oh they run in switching mode, which is super bad, because a, it's incredibly slow, and b, it's bad for the hard drive.
