It seems like manufacturers don't want to sell the 32GB versions of these (258V vs 256V).
waiting for Yoga 9 / XPS for ultra series 2.

By ugly do you mean because it has more than just usb-c ports?
This is the holy grail of laptop for me. OLED 3k 16:10 14" screen, great battery life, usb-a port, HDMI, less than 2.8 lbs, good build quality.
I am hoping you can get at least 10-12 hours battery life with 120hz and 75% screen brightness on balance CPU setting.

In any case, to be fair, if it makes you feel better buying this at $1399 instead of $899 just so you can say the 32GB is $100 more, then that's your choice, but the rest of us would rather pay $899, in which case the 32GB version is $600 more because the 32GB version [bestbuy.com] is never on sale for $100 more.

If it's coordinated with the manufacturer, then it should be this price across multiple retailers like Amazon, not just bb. But regardless, the idea that manufacturers don't want you to buy the 32gb version because it is so much more expensive is silly. It's basic economics. People are buying the 32gb version more than the 16gb at msrp (because it's only $100 more at msrp), so they put the version that is not selling well on discount. Just because it doesn't suit your needs doesn't mean it doesn't suit other people's needs. Like you said, this is a brand new product. Any sale at all is great for consumers. Eventually, they will all go on sale, you just have to wait. It's not Apple, very few people buy these at msrp.
You remind me of the people complaining about why a nice laptop at a great price only has 8gb instead of 16gb a year or 2 ago. It's at a great price because they know they can't sell the 8gb otherwise. It doesn't mean they have to drop the price of the 16gb to match the sale they have on the 8gb.
I picked it up on a previous sale so I'll be happy to get some credit back.
