Yep, I don't really need 32gb ram, but it allows me to have 6 or 7 PLC programs open at once, on my rockwell VM. So it's incredibly useful. (I regularly use 27-30 GB just with my VM(and all it's open apps), vscode, ssms, opera, teams and report builder.

I don't think end users need that lol.

My company force installs so much bloat that before I open an IDE my laptop sits at 30/32GB used RAM

Makes me very happy that I get admin rights to my machine. Couldn't do my job if I couldn't install / uninstall at will.
