? The early mac memory manager in macOS was idiosyncratic to put it lightly. By the time multifinder was integrated into macos, one might say that it was far worse than anything MS was dealing with. I mean at that point they were performing many of the functions we depend on MMU's for these days in software.

I guess in a way the complexity of the PC has more to do with the wide range of platforms, software stacks, etc that were being supported more than the architecture itself.
