Yeah it was crazy, at one point in the mid-90's, they even had QuickTime burned into the ROM!

Eventually RAM was faster than ROM and starting with the first iMac they moved to having the classic MacOS ROM in a file that got loaded into RAM on boot.

This was common with 80's - 90's computers. Amiga did this with Kickstart, Atari with TOS.
