I believe Intel had some limitations on their support for the LP-DDR (low power) memory and that's why so many systems had the 16GB limit.
On light road-warrior machine like X1 they likely wanted to maximize the battery life. And supporting many types of memory on same model was not likely an option.

Memory power consumption is overlooked but real, and they increase as capacity increase, so if customers aren’t going to use up it makes sense not to offer too much capacity.
