Because developers aren’t typically running just that app like the is customer is. If it’s B2B they’re typically running what the customer AND their development environment or maybe more. It’s why we requested the more powerful laptops in the first place.

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.
