  Do the math.

I have.  That's precisely why I'm asking for what possible workflow could require so many concurrent open Apps for one human to allegedly be rapidly swapping between.
Workflows are subject to the Laws of Diminishing Returns.  For any modern system with fast storage (eg, NVMe), the pretense of a productivity gains from leaving Apps resident in RAM has functionally ended for the Pareto Principle 80% portion.
