My experience with hundreds of win10 machine in an enterprise environment has been that disk speed has a far greater impact than ram.
16GB ram with a HDD is a much slower and sluggish experience than 4GB ram with a ssd.
This is for the general office use case.

If you're doing full stack development with a few containers, database(s) and other services (rabbit, etc) you can easily eat 16gb. I rarely go much over 20gb though. What pisses me off looking for a new personal laptop (not my work one) is so many of the best options have oddly gimped single-channel memory upgrade options (8gb soldered, 8gb in single slot) or have oddly limited GPU options on higher end AMD models (4800H in particular).
