The rumored Switch Pro will almost surely add more RAM.
But I couldn't see anyway Nintendo would've launched a hybrid platform in 2017 with more than 4 GB RAM. Nintendo hates selling hardware at a loss or merely breaking even. Loading the Switch with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM would've been very costly to Nintendo. It would've been especially costly and difficult in a mobile device.
The world's first smartphone with 8 GB RAM didn't even launch until 2017. Smartphones with 8 GB RAM are more affordable and common now, but they're still not the standard yet.
I don't know if there's a way to split RAM between the the tablet and dock. If there is, I suppose Nintendo could've put 4 GB RAM in the tablet and an extra 2 GB or even 4 GB in the dock.
