Prove it then. Not vs an Intel mac with a chip designed a decade ago, take a latest gen Intel or AMD comparable system with 16GB, and put it through rigorous paces vs an 8GB M3, and see. It says something that Apple is sending reviewers 16 and even 24GB versions despite that comment. 

If I'm performing an operation on hundreds of thousands of rows of data, they have to be somewhere physically fast, they don't exist in aether. Anything that swaps to SSD has access times in ms, not RAM's ns, one millisecond is 1000000 nanoseconds if anyone needs the reminder so I'm not exaggerating when I say several orders of magnitude slower. Despite techtubers also only looking at peak sequential read speeds you almost never hit real world except in single big file transfer.

If you need RAM, you need RAM, there's no way around it. Unified is just faster when you share data from CPU to GPU or the other way because of no pool swapping, but otherwise the physicality of RAM remains.

I've been hearing a very faint beep when putting them (Pro 2) in my ears sometimes, which some people said they heard when then put them in the case. Either way, this is a much smaller issue for me. 

I mostly hope one of these fixes my disconnects in the gym, it's definitely been more frequent since the iOS18 update. It used to be maybe 1-2 times a year, it's been every time since, one will be playing and the other not, or they don't sync on the same transparency mode, or it just disconnects and plays on my phone, annoying and somewhat embarrassing to figure out where it's playing exactly when you're in a crowd lol. 

It appears they messed up a few things with the new firmware that went with iOS18 and added the head shakes and stuff. Hope this is a quick fix for that.
