I don't have an Mac. How much RAM does it use just to turn it on? Windows 10 needs an astounding 4 GB just to see the desktop.
Every os uses certain % of ram to preload services and applications. So that when you launch them they open faster. And when they aren't needed and you want to do ram intensive task, those unnecessary processes are killed.
