Shouldn't the devs do this? We're in 2024, embedded systems have more RAM, IO, etc than anything from the 80s.

The, uh, GNU folks, are a little conservative in some ways that surprise the mainstream developers. But there are always flags for it. Well, except stupid-ass dynamic-linking of `glibc`.

Conservative is one thing, but having the default be something that's detrimental to 99.999% of your users in 99.95% of situations feels like bad defaults/design, not being conservative. My worthless 2 eurocents :-)

You would think that it would dynamically check the system on first run and set appropriate defaults.
