Well being used to something bad, doesn't mean things cannot get better.
Routers (to which I have some experience at), rarely have processes
running that wouldn't matter if they are randomly killed; on a desktop
system you immediately notice an issue, and you can reboot, a router is
typically running unattended. Being locked out of such a system because
another process had a memory leak, can be an issue.
