As old computers age out of gaming-worthiness and/or just die, new computers are built to replace them, and the high cost of memory may force some to get less RAM.

    But wouldn't people just stick with their current PC instead of downgrade?

    Especially because they very likely can get a better CPU with the same socket, and a better graphics card.

    I find it hard to imagine a scenario where you would go to less RAM instead of keeping what you have.

    What if your GPU or RAM dies?

    I mean as long as your PC is still viable, sure. But at some point even a partial downgrade can be an upgrade in some ways.
