RAM really doesn't matter for most people, IME, at least after Project Svelte. For example, here's a video [0] of the Moto E (not G, but lower-class, 125$ E) outpacing a Samsung S5 at simple tasks like opening Facebook, etc.
With 1GB of RAM, I've noticed the Moto G can multi-task between low-RAM apps (Chrome, SMS, Drive, Dropbox, Twitter, GMail, etc) just as well as a Note III (3GB RAM). The only time I've noticed a difference is context switching with a high-RAM app, like sending messages while gaming. This is actually an excruciating experience on a 1GB phone, because the game needs to reload every time one switches back to it.
>>Is RAM not a worthy technical specification to list?
I'd say yes, but it is a grossly overvalued spec. With modern RAM compression and multitasking, I suspect very few people will notice the difference between 1GB and 3.
Until somebody corrects me I'll just assume this thing has the 1GB of RAM which is pretty standard these days.. But not enough IMHO
