Yeah, you kinda defeated your own argument there, but you do seem to recognize that.

You can instant resume on a Steam Deck, basically.

You can alt tab on a PC, at least with a stable game that is well made and not memory leaking.

Yeah, better RAM / SSDs does mean lower loading times, higher streaming speeds/bus bandwidths, but literally, at what cost?

You could just actually take the time to optimize things, find non insanely computationally expensive ways to do things that are more clever, instead of just saying throw more/faster ram at it.

RAM and SSD costs per gig are going up now.

Moore's Law is not only dead, it has inverted.

Constantly cheaper memory going forward turned out to not the best assumption to make.
