People on HN can probably be assumed to want to go past JEDEC 2x48 GB RAM every time, I, again, wouldn't argue what HN should do as what the average consumer should be expected to do though. Much like I don't expect to recommend the average HN reader get the 6 core variant but it doesn't mean it's not as popular to general consumers due to price.

Same with "64 GB being easily used", true or not it's still not the capacities most are buying in new builds (32 seems to be the new common target for gamers, with 16 being the new minimum there, for example)
