I guess Apple doesn't really care about future proofing their products since they have new ones every year, but are you kidding me? Multitasking is terrible on the iPad and it closes down programs constantly that are supposed to stay running in the background. More RAM would help that immensely seeing as how that's how background programs are stored. Bringing the RAM up to modern day standards just seems obvious and I don't get why people are saying it doesn't need it when it obviously does. And why do people constantly defend Apple when they obviously are making decisions that shaft their customers? Every single thing that is in the iPad 2 could have been in the original and they aren't even making the new one up to standards so they can use those upgrades for next year's release.
You think it's fine to have a dumbed down phone OS, RAM that phones have equivalent to and cameras that are worse than a phone that has been out for nearly a year on a "next gen" tablet? I guess Apple has a different vision for what a tablet should be than I do.

1GB of ram is not expensive, at all. They could have done 512MB of memory last year at the same price point and 1GB this year at the same price point. Especially since they are using cheap, chinese parts and manufacturing. Are you saying that you don't want more headroom to keep programs running in the background in order to have real multi-tasking unlike what Apple pretends is multitasking?
The quote you linked pretty much just talks about the graphics and processing power not about RAM.
