In defense of thinking about very small configurations, I've seen many
cases where an enterprise-software salesperson's laptop is running a
demo - either in a small virtual machine in the laptop, or on an
overloaded windows box. Even though the customer might end up
running with 64GB, the sales demo's more likely to be 64MB.
Although I get your point, that is a job for sqllite not postgresql.
PostgreSQL is not a end all be all solution and it is definitely not
designed to be "embedded" which is essentially what you are suggesting
with that kind of configuration.
But these sales people are selling a postgres based product. It'd be
both much less convincing to demo a different application stack; as
well as not a very productive use of the developer's time.
