Agree, but this is only a decent bug report.
A better one would just make a C program that mallocs more memory than is available. The "open enough tabs so that it crashes part" is like "banana for scale", it is incredible unspecific. You could probably open HackerNews 50x more than espn.com

What you're suggesting is merely technical gatekeeping; there is nothing to gain from writing a special purpose OOM-causer, no less specifying that it must be written in C.
