Not exactly as funny meme as I would like it to be, but I just found out about that feature after having to hold the power button due to a frozen system countless times, and I had to tell someone.

Sounds like niche use cases
Not niche there can be times when you want to run something heavy and it auto kills the exact thing you are trying to run. You have a 1gb ram device and it kills everything? Thats undesirable
Your usual pal won’t be running Blender, they’re going to be stumbling their way through LibreOffice and a browser. Massive echo chamber right there.
Usual pal may tru run gta 3 on a potato though
Hm… the process itself should not take that much RAM. I dont know if normally the OS should assign the max RAM to the program.
But this should not happen and I wonder how “just letting it freeze” works
It makes system unresponsive, true. But its still running the main things, the render or decompressing or whatever. So it eventually unfreezes when it completes, by giving other programs(including GUI) back the CPU and ram.
Ok so killing is worse than just keeping alive.
This is a fair point.
I dont know a good solution for this, not killing but freezing is likely the best.
I dont know
Preferences matter too. Some like their progrms to be killed. Some may want it to run anyway however possible
