This is simply not true. To designate a necessary amount of memory you'd first need to understand what the operator is doing with their computer, but that wasn't a factor in your statement. It's is certainly a possibility that even 16GB could be overkill for a user. On the PC gamer side, where nothing is ever too much, it's common for them to suggest that anything above 16GB is unnecessary. For someone working purely with audio, you might never come close to 16 over the life of the computer.
If we were talking CPU horsepower then I'd agree. Even the insane potential of these new Macs will one day be tapped (probably by Atmos reverbs and/or VIs). But suggesting that everyone should buy the maximum amount of RAM under all conditions is just bad advice.
