Maybe this is true if you use Windows. If you use Linux on your PC versus macOS on a MacBook you will probably find the PC performs comparably if not better.
A Windows application and a Mac application will use pretty much the same amount of memory regardless of operating system.
The real issue is how much memory the OS uses up. Windows is a massive waste of RAM but not enough to make any difference, certainly not with 8 GB versus 16 GB. You’re still better off on PC then.
While that might have some impact, it’s not really the main problem with Windows. For the most part it’s how it’s actually engineered. For a start look at their compiler.

Until you open a web browser or an Electron app. Them folks don’t really seem to give a shit about RAM usage.
We are talking about PC vs Mac. Both have the same problem when it comes to chromium based things.

Oh totally, Linux is in the same ballpark as, if not better than, Macs when it comes to RAM usage. Windows is just a hog
That’s probably all the telemetrics in Windows taking their toll.
