I used to think this way many years ago, then I saw my own code in production hit OOM errors and manage to recover, and even log what was happening so I could read about it later.
After those experiences I agree with the sibling comment that calls your position "bullshit". I think people come to your conclusion when they haven't experienced a system that can handle it, so they're biased to think it's impossible to do. Since being able to handle it is not the default in so many languages and one very prominent OS, fewer people understand it is possible.
