I can't imagine actually using 64GB of RAM on a laptop.
How many concurrent VMs would I ever want to run anyway?
If I ever go over 16GB, and actually notice it swapping on an NVMe drive... why not just remote to a real workstation?

With a little setup it's no more effort than logging in. Less, even.Are we still talking about a laptop?
And I have a few use cases where 32 Gb is limiting. So I don't want to buy a brand new machine stuck at something that is, sometimes, already not ideal. And well, the usual next step is 64 Gb.
Load a "largish" dataframe you will wish for even more RAM.
Even on smallish dataframes with say 20-30GB usage it can be convenient to have a copy near by.
24 for chrome
8 for electron
10 for OS caching
4 for shared video memory
...and 2 that sit unused to let you know that you don't need any more to get the job done.
