so 8GB of ram..... and a faster Disc drive.... so why a 50GB install per game?

Wrong. PS3 used a 1x drive to play games. A more modern drive would be fine and Sony claimed the new drive is 3 times faster.

Apparently ALL games require an install. I didn't hear an exception for less demanding games.

Here's my guess, Sony did this so there is less ware on the disc drive. According to Square Trade, one of the most common issues of PS3 were disc read errors.

Three times faster isn't good enough for what is needed now. 

No, a drive three times faster would be sufficient for many games. Requiring all games to be installed was a choice made by Sony.

Wrong. If it was Sony's decision, the Xbone wouldn't have the same feature. It's obviously a workaround like Joethebro explained.
