We use an M1 8GB MBA purely as a home browsing laptop and it constantly gets into yellow memory pressure with few tabs open across FF and Safari.

They just said it's never been a problem for it. What does looking at his memory pressure do? Give them a false sense that something is wrong now?
That said if I did regular development on my personal laptop, I'd want 16GB. But if it's not an issue for someone's use case, I don't see a problem.
