Do you need 32GB of RAM in a laptop? 16GB ought to be enough for anybody ;). Sarcasm aside, this is probably purely business driven decision. The tech is there and it's nearly zero difference for the manufacturer to put either 8GB or 16GB dies on the board. It's the same as with SSD's - companies have to milk existing capacity tier to offer users next ones, otherwise they will have lower profits.
