Interesting.

For comparison, I have exactly the same MBP mid 2014 15" with 16GB.

As I type I have Slack, IntelliJ (with large Scala project), VSCode, Spotify and Chrome with plenty tabs open, and sitting comfortably at ~7 GB.

I think the difference is that you will be using pagefiles while the 32GB one will not.
