Compute intensive stuff usually demands those levels of RAM.
I know for gaming the recommendation nowadays is 16GB while 8GB are considered “works for now”.
There are some games though that still benefit from more RAM (I upgraded to 32GB on my old PC for a Beta of a Sim game as it maxed out my 16GB to the point of lagging my PC)
