That's probably the difference. Throw elasticsearch, kafka and a bunch of Java services in and you'll be easily exhausting your RAM (at least at startup).

16GB of RAM is hardly a gargantuan amount in 2024 - it's not unreasonable to expect someone running a local dev environment to have a more practical amount. I wouldn't buy (or recommend) any machine for dev work with less than 64GB in 2024.

Honestly, I think it depends on what kind of languages/frameworks/tools you use. Go is very lightweight, and you can safely run hundreds of Go services under 16 GB no problem (and with a crappy CPU, too). Python/Java/PHP etc. on the other hand, are much more wasteful. Our Go shop only now is considering maybe buying 32GB dev machines...
