It also guaranteed lower build cost. Not giving it twice the memory may not be much, but how many devices did apple sell? Summed up, it probably is enough to make someone somewhere decide that it's worth saving.

Being able to give customers another reason to switch device after a few years (when most will switch anyway) is just the icing.
