IMHO, browsers might prioritize execution speed somewhat more than memory. There is the Pareto tradeoff principle where it's unlikely to optimize all the parameters - if you optimize one, you are likely to sacrifice others. Also more memory consumption (unlike CPU) doesn't decrease power efficiency that much, so, more memory might even help with that by reducing CPU usage with caching.

TBH your comments come off as either very misleading or just uneducated on the nature of performance. Troubling indeed.
Can you enlighten me why it's misleading or uneducated?
