Not enough memory -> can't do it.

Not enough CPU -> can do it, but it's slow.

(Ubuntu with the OOM killer - could do it, but when it filled half of memory, it was killed.)

Not enough memory is sometimes just a slowdown these days, with ssd and swap.

Swap has existed since Win95 btw

Yes, though SSDs that can sustain 1.5G/s and an OS that transparently compresses memory before swapping yield a lot better experience than Win95 swapping.

Yes, but if your bar is "still works but slower" you don't need that.

For me, not enough memory is mostly -> close some damn browser tabs.

If we're talking about Ubuntu, ZRAM is still a thing.
