>> That said how they decided not to offer a 32GB ram offering on a MacBook Pro in 2016 is beyond me.

I'm the first to join you in this critique (I jumped off the Mac bandwagon a year or so ago), but in fairness, macOS does do memory compression where I don't think the other major OSes do. 16GB goes a little further (in theory) on macOS than it does on Windows.

Also, maybe paging to a super fast SSD is good enough to justify not having more memory.
