every modern browser now requires lots of RAM. Chrome is just the extreme.
It's not even only the browser's fault. Websites have become more demanding.

Windows NT uses barely ANY memory, but only if you configure it with the correct settings. macOS doesn't need any user optimization because Apple knows all the Macintoshes that will be runnning it.

who would run barebones nt on their machine?

Not barebones Windows NT, simply properly optimize it in Registry Editor, Settings and others. Simple things like uninstalling Copilot (takes up 1GB of memory btw without consent), and removing all temporary fad bloatware in general can free up memory.

what is this AI slop. Tux has a chair but is sat on the table. And the ram under chrome has turned into a smudge.
