Who doesn't include cost in design?
If my CPU/SoC is plenty fast for my task and the DRAM is faster than I need it to be and a CPU instruction to compress takes less power than a write out to the bus - it would just be wasteful to manufacture and purchase twice as much DRAM as the application needs.
Either the end user gets a better price (and all money is the result of expending energy, so we save again) or the manufacturer makes a larger profit (in a constrained market).
Now then - all you lunatics embedding Electron and costing me 400MB to send an 80 character text message - we need to talk about this.
CRAM seems like a great idea but it's not the solution to not caring about the Craft.
