And there are many ways to handle it that don't include throwing
bad_alloc when the system is unable to provide additional address
space, memory or backing store.

These ways are all less comfortable than bad_alloc.

Allocating major data structures at application start (perhaps using
a pool allocator) and crafting your algorithms such that they
don't require infinite memory is a good start.

With modern allocators like mimalloc allocation is that fast that
you mostly can't compete with your own pools.
