I think ASi Macs also use swap by default now, because the SSDs are so fast that it's actually a tenable solution to memory pressure. My Intel Mac never had any swap.

Yeah... one of the reasons why I dislike it.

Intel Macs have swap too. You can check it in Activity Monitor: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/activity-monitor/actmn...
