The vast majority of people will be using 32 bit Raspbian, (or Raspberry
Pi OS as they call it now), so wont benefit from anything over 4GB. To
make real use of that you have to load a 64 bit OS.

On my 8GB Pi 4B I'm running the 32 bit Raspbian user land, but with the
64 bit kernel, which via raspbian-nspawn allows me to also run 64 bit
applications in a container. The best of both worlds.
