You may have missed it, but Sony saved Vita last night.

That has yet to be seen. Cross play hasn't helped it yet.

for vita or wiiU. still a good feature though.

Your reasoning is fairly sound and the advantages of doubling the RAM outweighed the negatives. I think the cost of the system just shot up though.

The features you listed are more disc space (I/O) consumption... not RAM... like background download or video recording.

I think they are just matching the Nextbox or making the devs happy (a lot of devs are asking for 8GB RAM in next-gen).

Of course... if Sony was trying to make the SO uses only 1GB of the RAM... now they can make more things and run with 1.5 or 2GB of RAM.
