Given that Apple maximises for long battery life/power efficiency/thin-ness (where heat = bad), I think they made the right decision.
There are very few people who genuinely need more than 16GB of RAM in a laptop computer.
Would I get 32GB if it was available? Yes. It would make my work a little easier (multiple VM environments), but it's hardly the end of the world on 16GB.
