Nit: The population of the US is 340 million, not 3.3 million, but your point stands

I have a MacBook for work with only 16GB of RAM and I'm constantly running into problems of not having enough and my computer running slowly because of it. Credit where credit is due though, they did an amazing job of making it so when I'm having to use 16GB of swap space, my computer doesn't come to a screeching halt. That doesn't change the fact that I don't have enough to run the applications I need to on a day to day basis.

Myth: software engineers replicate value similar to a factory worker making the same item over and over

Truth: software engineers are closer to artists than factory workers IMO. We find and create new value, not replicate existing value

Does going into my garage workshop count? If not, then no. I didn't have anywhere to be and it was really cold out.

I have over a dozen years of experience as a software engineer and I started learning Scala and monads recently for a new job. I've come to the conclusion that monads are terrible and make things more difficult despite the on-paper description. Don't worry about it, you're much more competent than you think.
