Microsoft announces vague changes to the default web browser setting for Windows Insider. Nothing but wishful thinking. Still force-opens web links in Edge.
RAM usage is RAM usage, and besides the allocation still being awful and you probably having less RAM available in a heavy task, this means substantial power consumption, that costs money.
Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Even if it’s just the OS keeping apps on memory for faster launches. If you do need heavy RAM for a task your OS is clever enough to reshuffle things.
Used RAM does use more electricity but that is so neglible it’s a non-issue and no argument.

The problem is that when it is relocated, processor consumption increases. And as matter of fact, my operating system doesn’t cache anything and still opens applications very quickly, even faster than Windows.

Maybe isn’t a issue to you but for anyone with a laptop it is and it’s pretty visible.

Of my 32 GB at least 26 GB are constantly in use.

What processor are you using, a 486? Memory management should be effectively instant on any modern platform.
I also find it extremely hard to believe that your unspecified OS doesn’t do any caching. Even vxworks does caching.
