As with desktops, it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. RAM gets cheaper all the time so developers don't really worry too much about RAM usage. As a result, devices need more RAM if people want multiple things open. Rinse and repeat.

My desktop now has 32GB, because there, 16GB isn't really cutting it anymore. I generally have way more apps open on my phone than my desktop at any given time.

I do Android development at work. My workplace equipped me with a laptop that has 16 GB of RAM. It's not enough to have Android Studio open and run the debugger. ADB segfaults because it runs out of memory. Even when I'm not even doing anything at all, Windows already uses a significant portion of RAM available.
