This is actually not as common as you think. It is common for "normies" to see 4:3 and think "This is not HD". People really, really hate black bars.
What's more surprising to me is that content providers don't keep stuff in 4:3 and just shove ads on the side.
I just checked a random debian 12 system (with systemd) running a bunch of services at home, and here's what I see:
$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3791 320 2235 1 1313 3471
Swap: 99 0 99
Seems like usage is pretty much on par with your expectation. The largest consumers are systemd-journal which is storing logs in RAM, and filebeat which is relatively wasteful w/ memory. systemd itself (without the journal buffer log) consumes maybe 20-30 MB.
