They run into thermal constraints there.
They used to solve this in thickness: the 12-inch PowerBook was a fair amount thicker than the 17-inch to accommodate for the lack of horizontal space. I guess the sales numbers say that people who want that just go for the 15 anyway?
(RAM will improve. The next 13-inch is likely to get Comet Lake, and with it, LPDDR4. That should allow them to bump it up. This is one of the weird things where Intel has been lagging for years, even behind mid-tier phones.)

I’m not technically savvy enough to understand how any of that means the 13” Pro can’t/doesn’t come with 16GB RAM stock? They allow one to BTO to that amount, all I’m saying is in 2019-2020, a Mac with the word “Pro” in its name should come with that amount out of the box. At least the two pricier 13” models at $1,799 and $1,999.
Once you get above $1,500, and dealing with these specific models with that word in their name, 8GB stock just seems a bit chintzy and 2016, IMO.
