You complain about the very thing that lead to the experimentation and writing of this article, which is how one gets a real education:

"One of those techniques is static memory allocation during initialization. The idea here is that all memory is requested and allocated from the OS at startup, and held until termination. I first heard about this while learning about TigerBeetle, and they reference it explicitly in their development style guide dubbed "TigerStyle"."

Anyways, TigerStyle is inspired by NASA's Power of Ten whitepaper on Rules For Developing Safety Critical Code:

You might be impressed by that fact or the original Power of Ten paper but if so, it's only because NASA's marketing taught you to be.
