Yep. ERP vendors are the worst offenders. Last deployment for 40-ish users "needed" an 22 CPU cores and 44 GB of RAM. After long back and forths I negotiated down to 8 CPU cores and 32 GB. Looking at the usage statistics, it's 10% MAX... And it's cloud infra so paying a lot for RAM and CPU sitting unused.

Haha yes -- like what do you mean this CRUD app needs 20 GB of RAM and half an hour to startup?
