What helps these machines are built-in SSDs that operate at about 2 GB/s. If swapping out 2 GB of background tabs you're not looking at when you switch to your IDE takes a second, you're not really going to notice it. Only if you're actually trying to operate with all the memory at the same time (big Kubernetes test suites or something) is when the swapping becomes noticeable.
