I find it very hard to understand why they have not done this yet. I am even willing to sacrifice on the upgradability, since this is a sacrifice we have been making by default in recent years. But not being able to select a 32GB RAM option is just terrible.

At the price of a Macbook Pro one can hardly argue that it is a office productivity tool since it is clearly aimed at the "Pro" market. If the situation does not change then it is going to force pro users to look at alternatives.
