No matter how much RAM is assigned, Minecraft still seems to use 2GB
What I expected to happen was...:
The amount of RAM Minecraft uses would increase
What actually happened was...:
Nothing
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the Minecraft launcher, go to Installations > [Any installation] > Edit > More Options > JVM Arguments
2. Change the 2 in the first "-Xmx2G" to something higher
3. Open Minecraft using said installation
4. Go into a world and open the F3 screen
5. The second row on the right side will claim that Minecraft only has 2048MB total RAM

If somewhere other than a comment would be better for additional information after the initial report, that'd be good to know
I was opening the launcher through Steam. However, I just tried opening the launcher from my desktop and I still have a similar problem.
