I would imagine part of the issue is that the physical layouts and physical connections for video card ram are optimized for speed. In many ways it's akin to an L1/L2/L3 cache in a processor rather than standard RAM.

I do think 16GB VRAM is necessary going forward because games are designed with PS5 architecture as the benchmark, but GPU computationalnrequitements are still king.

I think intel really did make the Arc 770 what its price competitors ought to be.
