I had a 32GB dev machine in my last job at a bank. 8GB is barely enough to run a full-on IDE, but if you also need to run wireshark, Geneos, outlook, big-ass excell sheets, several browsers with over a dozen tabs each, a bunch of communications tools, other office apps etc, etc, I'd regularly go above 20GB memory usage.

I was working app support really, with a fair bit of dev work as well, so needed to run a ton of different tools.

I'm not even at a tech company and requested 32GBs, as I sometimes have VS and Android Studio open, running mobile emulators and checking what is going on the API end. You add VMs to the mix and one really needs 32GBs. My company had no issues providing the ram. Plus, it is insanely cheap right now.
