Summary
- Windows 11 Weather app hogs about 1.2GB RAM and spawns multiple Chromium processes.
- App displays ads because it wraps MSN weather in a WebView2/browser shell.
- Native macOS Weather uses ~247MB with no ads; Microsoft should port to WinUI 3.

Yup. Also, in this case and many others, the reason they disabled the feature was to force people to use their “widgets”. i.e. see more ads.
