RAM usage is only one criteria. There's also what the DE requires of the CPU  
while idling, the graphics chips etc. It's precisely because the apps people  
use these days have such high resource demands (including those delivered via  
browser), that it's important for the DE to deliver what the user requires of  
it, with the smallest resource footprint possible. This is especially true if  
we want to be able to back up the claim that GNU-Linux runs well on older  
hardware.
