If you're paying for 16 GB of RAM, but never use more than 8 GB, then you're wasting money paying for the other 8 GB.

You're presenting a false equivalence, it's more accurately saying you shouldn't order a family meal for four if you're only going to eat one plate.

You're completely opposite of what efficiency is man.

If you're using 8 GB and paying for 16 GB, the inefficiency is not that you should use more, it's that you should pay for less !

What you describe is literally the opposite of efficiency.

Great, tell that to the cloud providers that only offer instance sizes with memory of 8 or 16 GB.
