"MacOS allocates memory based upon how much you have."
Of course it does but there's no need to allocate or lock-down more than you need.
"Clearly, you don't have a full 8 GB Parallels environment in memory as I do."
Nor do I need it. I run a 4-CPU 6GB Win10 virtual machine yet it's using barely over 2GB (33% of the 6GB). Not sure why your Win10 VM environment is that inefficient that it requires the full 8GB (100% of 8GB).

Yet Windows 10 is barely using 2GB
But whatever works best for you doesn't mean it will work any better for me.
