Maybe a better thread than this is the XB1 doesn't need to use 3GB of memory for the UI/OS, regardless of whether it's GDDR3 or GDDR5.

Why doesn't it need to use 3GB for UI and OS? I like multitasking, preloaded games, insta resume, fast switching, pinning apps...

Because that's memory that could be used for higher res textures, larger drawing distances, game data, game engine, etc. etc. You know this.
