Condemning Apple's decision because YOU don't like it similarly does not mean it was a bad one. Apple makes laptops for its target market; if your needs aren't met, there are other laptops out there. Apple had design reasons for doing what they did: optimizing battery life at the cost of a feature that I would wager very few people, statistically speaking, would use. It's alright if that means this laptop doesn't meet your needs, because everyone's needs are different, but I would wager that more people would take advantage of longer battery life than would take advantage of 32 GB of RAM.

No, that's the problem. There aren't other laptops out there. If I want to use MacOS, I have zero choice, but to go along with watered down "PRO" version, that is being catered to grandma. Defending Apple from not even offering 32GB as an OPTION doesn't even make any sense. Please don't give me that silly RAM/battery debate. If someone wants more battery life, then stick with the 16GB. I'll take that imaginary risk, and order the 32GB upgrade. Like you stated, "everyone's needs are different", and yet, they don't cater to anyone but the lowest common denominator anymore. It started with abandoning their pro apps, then their pro desktops, and now their pro laptops.
