I don't think anybody is considering this to be used as desktop-systems with a current bloat-linux.
One could offcourse run an Linux-desktop as cut down as they were 7 years ago, but I don't see many people doing it either.
Looking at the suggested projects in the EFIKA-developer-program should give you a better idea of what the target markets are.
128MB and MOS on the other side was the most common setup for Pegasos_1, and I never really had reason to complain.
