When talking informally, people often omit mentioning the base case when it's obvious or trivial. Btw, your recursion doesn't necessarily need a terminating case. See eg this definition of the list of Fibonacci numbers in Haskell:

It sure attracts the wasps. Whether you have less of them on your real food compared to the counterfactual, I don't know.

To make my point more abstractly: Multiple tasks can share the CPU and just get a bit slower. But if you are out of RAM, you are better off running one thing after another. Whether you hit swap or OOM was a distraction.
