There may be better set-top boxes for the total cost of RPi + peripherals you would need to run it, but I have not looked into ARM embedded options for some time now. For routers and high throughput miniservers I prefer amd64 embedded, which cope much better esp. with AES-NI hardware encryption processing. Anyway, according to the man behind RPi 16G is upper limit of what this BCM SoC can run theoretically, but: "There really, really isn't a 16GB package that we could use, or a way to use a pair of packages ..." https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/raspberry-pi-4-how-much-ram I would think even if fatter RAM modules could fit on the board, power supply and cooling issues would introduce other design constraints and also push the price point above the market segment RPi are targetting.
