Hi Daniel,
I don't think that anybody might think that Kamailio is greedy with resources.
If you start an application and demands a lot of memory without doing anything, then people associated it with a resource greedy application, like they did with Java or Electron based apps.
A Raspberry Zero for 5 Dollar has 512 MB RAM and was released in 2015.
There are a lot of deployments out there that still run on old but reliable (and expensive) hardware like IBM/HPE/Dell blades. You comparison is not applicable, you look at the cheap consumer harware, not what is actually out there in production environments.
Some years ago we also increased PKG memory default for similar reasons,
At that moment there was a discussion about it debating the necessity:

core: default pkg memory size set to 8MB
- as per discussion on mailing lists
so I think this is a reasonable change after all the years as well.
So it ends up being just your personal opinion, as I couldn't find any evidence this change is actually needed. I do not find reasonable any change to default allocated resources without proper grounds.
Not long time ago you published a blog post on high capacity/performances of kamailio on raspberry pi, iirc, there was with default config and no command line tunings, so I expect it was with the defaults -- given that, 5000 registrations/second and 300 call setups per second is more than what 90% of telefony systems deal with. This change somehow contradicts it.
Cheers, Daniel
