I'd argue that it's more of a culture problem. I regularly have multiple instances of Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code open (together with many windows explorer, notepad, notepad++ and whatever). Visual Studio in itself is just slow, and often crashes, even if I just have one instance open. On Linux, I have several terminals open, which is just so much more lightweight. Of course, from a performance point-of-view, these are not comparable, but that is exactly my point. On windows, everything has a GUI, and everything seems to assume a much more hi-end machine. P.S. I admit that it was a bit misleading to post this rant under this article, since the article measures raw OS performance, while my point is that lower performance is usually sufficient too, if you use tools that have a single purpose instead of trying to be an OS in itself.
