It's not so simple. You're effectively doubling the memory cost and memory power consumption. Not to mention any of the additional costs of doing the clamshell on top of that.
Of course cost is an issue. If it's an option I don't see the issue paying more for more memory.
In the 3000 series, they could have used 2GB chips and doubled RAM on the 3060 Ti, 3070 (256 bit bus).
Though this generation the bus is very narrow so more problematic with only 2GB chips forcing you to double up chips on the other side of the board. I don't get why they can't produce 4GB packages for this.
