A tradition for desktop software (mostly 3rd party) was to develop for "future hardware" from the moment you're developing, as Moore's law was a good rule of thumb to predict the future. But for reasons RAM and CPU performance have kept stagnated without a lot of changes for around 10 years (until recently with Ryzen 5000, Intel 12th, and Apple M1). Still I find funny you could buy a 16GB RAM Macbook 13" in 2012 as the top model... and today 16GB is still it's the max capacity of the line. To give a point of reference the 2002 Powerbook the Max RAM capacity was 1GB.
