Just recently switched to the 15" with 8gb ram and again NO ISSUES editing hundreds of raw photos from my Sony A7iii on my 34" external monitor. I do not run chrome or edit videos in the background. 8gb is more than fine unless you do alot of layers in photoshop or heaving editing, rendering or run chrome with 452 tabs.
I recently upgraded to a Macbook pro 16" M1 with 16gb of ram and surprised to see the 15" MBA M2 beat the MBP m1 in resizing 500 photos by 10-15%. but the MBP M1was 2x as fast in downsizing 4k video to 1080p in Handbrake.
So 8gb is fine for most people. unless you're gaming, or rendering or severely multitasking, but if you're just using couple of programs, you'll be fine.

Some people are just silly, BUT - it is stupid Apple doesn't just put 16 in there stock for a $1k+ machine. I think Apple silicon is wonderful, but yeah, the memory stuff is ridiculous.
