Who would respect that???
> And for the needs of a console application, the performance implications in terms of startup, responsiveness, throughput, and memory consumption are also reasonable
Literally none of those things are reasonable and are specific issues people complain about because their expectations formed by other TUI apps are broken with such an approach
