But 8 GB on a Mac is way different (in a positive way) from 16 GB on a different OS. On Windows 11, I can’t even imagine anything lower than 32 GB being a decent experience.

Given the quality of macOS memory allocator that is whishful thinking.

My Windows 11 machines have 16 GB and work just fine.

It's kinda not. Windows has virtual memory compression by-default, and even most Linux distros provide zram as an install-time option.
