On the contrary, it's worse on systems with lots of memory, because those are the systems that are trying to do more.
About 8 years ago I got a work machine with 384GB of RAM, and I installed early_oom on it to make the OOM killer work a whole load earlier, otherwise the system would just become completely unresponsive for hours if one of my students/colleagues accidentally ran something that would make it run out of RAM.
