Surely at least in part it is, when one of the major issues is the memory cap?

The xps 13, the surface book and most other "developer-friendly" laptops don't fit more than 16 gb. I use a t460p which supports 64 gb, but I just have 16 gb in there because even for hadoop development I don't need more.

The memory cap issue is a non-issue. 99% of the people who complained wouldn't pay extra to get 32 gb.
