In Linux the default swap behaviour is to also swap out the memory mapped to the executable file, not just memory allocated by the process. This is a relatively sane approach on servers, but not so much on desktops. I believe both Windows and macOS don't swap out code pages, so the applications remain responsive, at the of (potentially) lower swap efficiency

Don’t know about Macs, but on Windows executable code is treated like a readonly memory mapped file that can be loaded and restored as the kernel sees fit. It could also be shared between processes, though that is not happening that much anymore due to ASLR.
