Even NT4 handles memory pressure than modern day Linux. It's just not a fair comparison; Linux has never dealt with userspace OOM well.

As for macOS...

There are _plenty_ more. There is some fundamental library leaking given the range of impacted apps.

Seeing there are thousands running those apps (incl. Freeform) without memory leaks, it could be something else at play here.

		It's quite clearly a bug and likely not one easy to diagnose or reproduce given the length of time the bug has remained in macOS. Or a fix would be a drastic breaking change. Or Apple doesn't really care, though I doubt that's the case.
