Sorry I don't follow how this "standard" configuration is relevant. If you want more just buy more? If you don't want to pay pre-built markups build it yourself.

And the point about gaming setups is very relevant because you can get consumer hardware (aka cheap), instead of being forced into "workstation/server" which carries a huge markup.

You can get 128GB RAM and stupid amounts of ssd storage for cheap with consumer hardware.

The hardware hasn't stagnated at all. I think you're problem is simply with pre-built markups?

As a developer I care because that’s what my users have. As an employee I care because that’s what my employer buys for me to use at work. As the unofficial IT support person for my friends and family I care because that’s what most of them will buy and ultimately ask me to help with.

Also if you want a laptop, the markups for upgrading said memory and storage are actually pretty significant and may not be worthwhile. Upgrading laptops is quickly becoming difficult to impossible. Yes I know about Framework, but they are not ever going to be mainstream for a number of reasons.
