the problem isn't whether 8 GB are enough for the average joe. the problem is Apple are charging 1599$ for an 8 GB laptop. even for that price, 16 GB are really pushing it — especially with only 512 GB of storage space.
so yes, the problem is Apple are being greedy.
Apple does not have a monopoly on laptops. You can always buy an intel laptop with windows or linux if Apple's value proposition does not work for you. E.g. one of my work laptops is a Dell with 32GB of RAM.
