Apple doesn't even offer a 32GB option for their Macbook Pro computers. 32gb is far from standard.

Yes, they don't offer that on their laptops, but what the OP is talking about is a desktop machine. Apple definitely offers 32 GB in their desktops.

OP is talking about the machines Google devs use, and I am betting they are definitely not desktop machines.

He was describing the standard desktop workstation at Google.

My understanding is that they have rMBP laptops and slightly beefier desktops.

some people have macs, some other people have thinkpads (at other points in time, there have been dells or HPs as well). But only desktops are actually used for any development.
