Idealistically it should not be using so much memory and burning up the world’s silicon. Efficient computing is a backbone of why we trust computers. (I am horrified with the windows explorer in windows 11 nowadays for its slowness.)

How are you burning up silicon by using your memory? If anything you're wasting more silicon by making low-density RAM modules.
Less efficient software means more frequent hardware upgrades.
