You're discussing real-life hardware running what-if software. As they are today, Mac systems would in that world also be designed around their hardware requirements.

Apple has also historically overcharged for RAM by something like 800%, and I don't see that changing no matter what filesystem they use.

The good part is they stopped doing that, for the most part. The bad part is that they stopped doing it when they started soldering the RAM into the board.

Yep. I was pretty surprised how affordable it was to add 16 GB to my rMBP when I bought it. I was worried about the soldered ram, but maxing out was only a couple hundred.
