>just get a 16GB RAM stick for $40

Laptops come with soldered RAM now where upgrades are not possible. And most people use laptops nowadays instead of desktops.

Buying another laptop to double your ram just because you hit the swap once in a blue moon is kinda wasteful.

If you are frequently swapping out 32GB, a laptop is not the right tool for the job.

Where did I say anything about swapping out entire 32GB? Why does everything need to be binary in this argument? As in you either swap 32GB or have swap disabled?

What if you from time to time you only swap a couple of GB? Isn't that better than having your system completely lock up and need rebooting?
