Jobs like home video editing now that everyone, just about, has a HD video camera in their tablet or the phone in their pocket and an insatiable desire to put their cat's funny antics up on Youtube.
I still don't believe that the majority of people are doing video editing that requires more than 4GB RAM. It is a small proportion that upload videos to the Internet anyway, and of those that do I have seen way too many examples that desperately need editing but obviously haven't. It seems that most people just don't care to do these memory intensive edit jobs. They will dump the video to disk, maybe trim it a bit and then upload.
Even among the people who do need more memory - gamers - just over half have 4GB or less according to the Steam survey.
