Do PC gamers feel 12GB of VRAM is simply not enough for the money in 2024?

I haven't paid attention to GPUs since I got my 3080 on release day back in Covid.

Why has acceptable level of VRAM suddenly doubled vs 4 years ago? I don't struggle to run a single game on max settings at high frames @ 1440p, what's the benefit that justifies the cost of 20gb VRAM outside of AI workloads?

And one comment down: it's actually criminal there is only 20gb vram
