With SSDs and quiet fans you don't hear when your computer is thrashing or when a process got out of control. You only notice when it is too late and when you use an app it slows to a crawl. Sometimes so bad that hard rebooting is faster than waiting for the app to quit. I had this a couple of times recently on Windows with Outlook or Firefox. A decade ago I regularly had this on Mac, haven't used one in a while but I guess it is rarer there.
