I agree that fork (a Unix implementation detail) creates issues like overcommit and complicating memory management (took a look at the paper and I won't dispute the issues it points out). I don't agree that farming out in-app functionality into a herd of daemons (d-bus, desktop portals, pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber, system and user systemd with daemon-level environment variables) is beneficial for system functionality and doesn't create added complexity (each daemon's state, which daemons are running or crashed, reliance on IPC instead of being able to trace each process in isolation) and new failure modes (apps can't find D-Bus to load the desktop portal, and hang instead, if you login to Wayfire unless you login to Xfce first without killing systemd --user).
