"In" for what? What purpose does your post serve?
Farmeroak
I generally have 200 tabs open, as well as other memory intensive programs. The M1 laptops are amazing (I use one), but the M1 isn't magical and doesn't change physics. The memory for programs lives somewhere, either in RAM or on the SSD. Once the RAM is full, the extra memory needed is stored on the SSD. In other words, if you need a lot of RAM, there will be many writes/swaps to the SSD, even if it's nearly instantaneous and barely noticeable to the user. If I were to try to use 8GB of RAM I would likely be writing hundreds of GB to the page file daily, wearing out the SSD prematurely, possibly within 2-3 years. Even with 16GB of RAM I still have heavier writes than I'd prefer.

The solution isn't "use fewer tabs" or "close programs" since I know my optimal work flow and use a device that can handle it. I understand the desire for 16GB of RAM (or even more).

Because MacBook Air configurations with 16 GB RAM are available and sold by apple, they just aren't available at Costco...if 16 GB RAM was completely unnecessary in a MacBook Air then why does Apple make a version with it in general?

Also some people just want to future-proof their laptop

I see a lot of people all the time asking for 16gb ram macbook airs. What are they planning to do with these things? I've had no problem with my base macbook air running 20 tabs in a browser along with ableton live or logic pro with any reasonable amount of plug-ins. This combination of programs is very processor and RAM intensive and works way better than my windows desktop. The m1 architecture does not use RAM like people may expect.

I just got a steam deck and I'm really regretting not going for the 512

This thing is only 720p - games need to be better about only using textures appropriate for screen

You can get what you're asking direct for from Apple's website…
