Apple with some exceptions has the drivers and hardware sorted out pretty solidly, and they seem to have better memory management than windows; factor in the target market and the BOM cost and Apple is simply going to win this segment if they choose to continue to participate.
Windows has RAM compression by default since quite some time.
And RAM compression is free? Or does it have to compete with other background processes that Windows 11 has?
Of course not but I'm not aware of a different impact on performance compared to macOS.
