First post!
I haven't read all the posts, but I'm with those who have mentioned optimization. The reason why, IMO, that Samsung and other OEMs are using 6GB is in part based on their customization of the OS. We all know Samsung loves to customize the UI and have their usual bloat.
So yes, as the UI gets more customized, it's likely more RAM will be needed to support said customization and also unnecessary apps. I'm no expert in resource allocation within an OS, but I understand try basics.
Google, with the Pixel line, are giving consumers as efficient and optimized OS as possible. What we do with it is on us. If we layer 3rd party widgets and skins and have 100 apps, well that's on us.
In short (too late), I believe 4GB is plenty to run the Pixel 3. It's similar with the iPhone. The XS Max is supposed to have 4GB as well. They don't need 6GB bc they have their OS pretty much locked down.
