Why 8GB is needed ? I know bitcoin synchronization need a lot of resources. But when it's done, does it really need 8GB ?

Running a full LN node require a lot of RAM. You will start installing many apps and in special Electrum server and other node managing apps. You have been warned. Don't bargain for ram, is cheap.

Only going to need more RAM in the coming years too. Best to future-proof, especially for something that is unlikely to be replaced all too often.
