Not really sure why there was outrage for this. 16GB has been seen as the minimum going back to COVID times? (If I recall correctly?) 32GB is a reasonable amount to recommend if they expect a user will also be running a browser and discord while gaming.

The windows 11 team at Microsoft isn't responsible for the realities of modern software. The community bulling them into pretending that 32GB isn't a good recommendation these days doesn't actually help anything
