    Just because you have RAM to give, doesn’t mean an app should use it. An app that is using way more than it typically uses often means the app has lost control in some way (a memory leak). An app that has lost control will usually have performance or other issues.

      Well, fine, right, I’m not saying I want something to use all 64GB, but I’m not going to be upset if something used a few GB. Chrome OS that way where it’ll eat up all avail RAM, hence why so many memes. A lot of applications are written poorly and yes, RAM utilization will grow, but again, if I’ve got it, in many cases might as well use it.
