As a developer poisoned by Demoscene, I'm very aware of memory usage of the things I develop, but I'm aware that I'm in the minority here.
Most developers and companies want to minimize development time and sweat. Instead, they want to push their MVP out of the door and iterate quickly. This results in tons of imported libraries for single functions, unoptimized code, cruft and bloat, which I really don't like. However, even if all the things are optimized reasonably well, my point stands, because running things add up.
Currently, besides two browsers (Firefox and Safari), I have Microsoft Excel, Obsidian, Spotify, Terminal, Apple Mail, Dropbox, Nextcloud, TextExpander, Viscosity and Amphetamine open. Currently 13,43GB of RAM is used alongside ~700MB of swap. Most of this is consumed by my Firefox tabs and WindowServer on macOS.
