I don't really understand how you do this.
Even running archlinux with clamd and a tiny windows manager takes ~2-4 GB of RAM to do effectively "nothing".
So, of course, MacOS takes ~8GB of RAM to do effectively nothing, such is about the same for windows.
Unless you're running something like alpine Linux these days, you're going to be eating a ton of RAM and cycles for surveillance, telemetry, and other silly 'features' for these companies.
