The value to a user, and who that user might be
Given the nature of qubes it swallows a lot of RAM. While people running a normal linux distro or even windows on 8-16 GB ram might be completely fine they will likely experience ram management issues on qubes (take it with a grain of salt since I only have 8). In particular I've seen several people mention they might need a windows qube due to company policy or some proprietary SaaS and they will most definitely start having issues.
Additionally all the certified hardware has screens 14" (nitropad t430) or much smaller which isn't very good for most things I personally use it for in terms of gaming and videos. I wouldn't ever personally spend the money for 32-64 gb ram and other upgrades on a laptop if it doesn't have a >14" screen
All certified hardware only supports 16 gb ram at most
No certified hardware supports more than 1600x900, just 1920x1080 would be a major improvement
