You disagree with a point I never made. My point is that they enable easier memory management, regardless of whether they're more performant. I really don't understand how that point didn't get across. You must simply not have read what you responded to.

Sure, if you’re writing in a language that makes memory management difficult, like C or Zig, that might be worth it, but arena allocators apply to many other languages too.

Similarly, it's far too broad to say that it's "much less error prone" to use a more general allocation strategy. Clearly we both make unspoken assumptions, but in the context of this discussion on Zig, where you initially responded to an example written in Zig, I think you actually understood what I meant.
