My 2009 Mac mini had 8gb of RAM. And it wasn't even very expensive to do so when I did it in ~2013. Couple hundred bucks max.

Couple hundred bucks for 8 gigs of ram?

11 years ago. May very well have been less. Apples still probably charging more than that to go from 8 to 16 and I had to buy all 8 and replace both DIMMS.

Yeah I didn't even pay a hundred bucks for the 32GB of RAM in my current desktop, and it's DDR5.
