If they want to market to the masses, they will sell Windows based machines. That is still what the masses want, albeit mostly for what is perceived as being able to save money and/or being able to have what "everybody else" has. I do not know of any new Macs ever sold that had RAM in amounts that was inadequate to the point of not being able to be booted up. I'm pretty sure that Macs, even those from twenty years ago, and including the latest, all had sufficient RAM to be able to run most basic applications. They might bog down if running multiple apps, but no one would have felt as if they had been ripped off. If selling computers that have insufficient RAM to the point of being essentially dysfunctional is not all that uncommon, then I do not think it is an issue related to Macs. If true, then that is probably an attribute of overseeing the manufacturing of your own computers that run your own OS.
