Mobile and Android devices are key use-cases here and low end bucket is
expected to grow significantly, especially due to efforts like Android Go

For very low memory devices, the total memory is not the best signal
unfortunately. I'm not gonna give precise numbers or names for obvious
reaons (Shubbie, you can get them from your colleagues) but for instance
the memory used by modems varies greatly from one SoC vendor to the
other. The variation may not me so significant to user space when your
total memory is a few GB, but it really is on devices like those
targeted by Android Go.
So you will report something that doesn't help a JS lib to build an
opinionated signal - you should rather report the available memory
available to web sites, which is a wonderful fingerprinting signal...
