The 32GB option should come "for free" with the next Intel CPU generation (it's already out, but perhaps too late to make it in these Macs). I doubt Apple gets off on withholding that, it's just a limitation of the Intel chips they're using (correct me if my misunderstanding is wrong).

Only the mobile ones are out for ultraportables, desktop Kaby Lake that would go into a MackBook Pro expected in January 2017 plus another month for manufacturers to catch up.

Pretty sure that only the iMac has desktop-class Intel CPUs, the Macbook Pro has, well, mobile CPUs.

13' ones use U (ultra-low power) processors, while 15' use QH (quad-core with high performance graphics). Same with Dell updating XPS 13 with Kaby Lake last month, but XPS 15 would have to wait till next year.
