Did something happen in the last year that made everyone demand 32GB?
It became available. No one was demanding 16 or 4 or 1 or 0.1 GB of RAM either before the option became available.
Personally I find that for everything I do either "4 GB or RAM is plenty" or "16 GB of RAM is barely enough". If I'm buying a laptop for only the first category of work, then the MBP is way too expensive for me (esp. since I'd also have to buy a second computer), and if I'm buying a laptop to handle both categories of work then it's under-powered.
