> It only really makes sense for extremely memory-constrained embedded systems
Even "mildly" memory constrained embedded systems don't use swap because their resources are tailored for their function. And they are typically not fans [1] of compression either because the compression rate is often unpredictable.
[1] Yes, they typically don't need fans because overheating and using a motor for cooling is a double waste of energy.
