Same reason iPhones is 4gb of 6gb of RAM while flagship android uses 12 and 16gb.
That being said. 256gb SSD and 8gb or ram WILL limit you with large photo or video tasks. So even though it's a pro. Know it has limits.
You are gaining, fans for cooling vs fan less on the Air, slightly better performance on long running multithreaded tasks.
Be aware the 256 model has only one SSD chip not 2 like the 512gb and above so your SSD speed will be in the 2500Mbs vs 5000ish Mbs. for everyday tasks even light photo and video editing work it will work fine.

10 at that store today, 1 sold so far, confirmed at 799
None near Chicago area, one in Toledo Ohio? Good luck to everyone else
I have MacBook pro
Lenovo carbon X1 & MS surface laptop Windows
And Linux laptop as well.
Let me tell you that MacBook runs faster than Windows I agree, but with 8GB Linux runs much faster than MacBook.
But my Linux laptop cost $400.
Bottom line RAM and SSD become very cheap Apple is not using gold plated RAM, so this doesn't justify the price that's the point.

The M1 Air is a great product (I have one) but showing its age. The M2 Air, bang for bucks is the best deal when it's priced $800-900 (very soon)

You are gaining the 14" screen vs 13. A micro LED screen vs ips 120hz refresh vs 60, two more thunder bolt ports, much better speakers, fans for cooling vs fan less on the Air, so it's worth the upgrade for just the screen alone. And more ports.

Don't spout out B$ just to defend a greedy company. 8 GB is being terrible, just chrome alone will use that up.
