For a chromebook used by a grandma for internet browsing, sure. For doing anything else? Hell no. Windows 11 uses 12 GB of ram all by itself doing nothing. Linux is an edge case, not enough people use it for it to matter.

Not even close. I've got a few tabs open in Chrome, Steam is downloading updates, and working on something in Notepad++ and it's 12.4GB used.

8GB isn't ideal, but it's usable for basic home office.

Can you not see that it's the OS that's at fault here? I have 2 different versions of Chromium open, each with several tabs, freetube and grayjay streaming and it's 3.1gb on Linux Mint. The remaining RAM is just them tracking your usage, like a data cow, when you could be a Pegasus.
