Dell going backwards in their laptop offerings

How has 8 GB ram and 256 GB storage returned as the standard 1 and 2 tiers across several of their business class models? They have literally gone backwards in the past year, which is especially annoying considering the new pricing floor for 16+512 is basically $1100-1200 over the previous ~800-900 range.

Dear Dell, 256 storage is not enough, nor is 8 GB of ram. You can spend the extra $8 per laptop on your end and give businesses devices that aren't going to cause unnecessary headaches more than what everyone already has to put up with nowadays with Windows sucking ass more commonly than ever before.

Everything everywhere is turning to absolute shit. If Dell is joining the shit trend then I might as well shop amazon again. End rant.
