This is a biproduct of DDR5. From what I read the speeds aren't going to be much better but the amount of RAM can balloon to extreme amounts. Like 64GB sticks being the standard that people buy while also being able to carry more information than the DDR4 sticks.

I'm not sure if it's a side-effect of DDR5 or just that devs pay attention to things like Steam hardware surveys and are just getting more lax about memory usage as the average amount of RAM slowly ticks upward.
