Yes, but you make it sound like it was the watcher's fault when in fact the watcher is merely a bad cure for a much worse disease. I have also missed calls due to swapping on my N900 when I kept 12(!) apps open for weeks on end. Two of them terminal windows with builds running. The point is the device could handle that. Jolla, with 4 times as much RAM, can't. What the F*** is Jolla doing to waste that much RAM???
Its a different technology and different toolkit that SailfishOS uses. With all its fancy animations, qml, half transparent windows and better caching technologies more RAM is used.
Also keep in mind websites for example and so browsers nowadays tend to use a lot more RAM then it was back then with the n900 and we have more and more technologies integrated like html5 audio/video , webrtc and others.
