Have you increased the number of inotify watches?

I'm having issue on mac, but never had it on Linux after setting inotify limits sufficiently high

You still have to put gas in the tank of your car, no matter if you own 20k used Civic or 350k Ferrari
Sure but this analogy is weird. I dont have to cook my own pasta in a restaurant, would be a counter analogy which is just as unfitting.
