There are lots of different application models the issue here is ton of rule-of-thumb regression from "redundancy is important" to "swap is okay after-all I guess."
Maybe consider that not everyone has the same use case as you: some people are running larger chunks of computation per node or even stateful applications. Even when they could be killed and are redundant, running a bit slower for a moment until they recover may be preferable to restarting the node (which also takes time).
