I've read about manufacturers limiting RAM to e.g. 8GB to be able to stay within some power-consumption deemed acceptable for a notebook device. More RAM draw power.
Given that RAM size can have those ramifications energy-wise, it sounds almost like it would be a win, to go against the grain of the article and push for an upper limit of memory, say 4-8GB, if the environmental factor was the lone metric to judge on.
Secondary effects follows due to restraints, software makers who doesn't want to see users churn from their applications start scrambling to optimize codebases so the executives won't loose out on their bonuses for that fiscal year.
