Why does Hackintosh have higher RAM usage than Windows?

Hello everyone, I'm new to hackintosh. I recently built my own EFI for the first time and successfully booted it. I've been using it normally for over a month. Here are my specs:

CPU: i3-12100F

MB: Gigabyte H610M-K DDR4

GPU: AMD 6650XT

RAM: Crucial 3200MHz 16GB*2

SSD: KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G3 1TB

LAN: Realtek® GbE LAN chip

Wifi and BT: N/A

OS: Sequoia 15

I've been using Windows 11 with this setup for work. I run a lot of apps and web pages, and my average RAM usage is around 60%. However, after using the Sequoia 15, with the same apps and web pages, my average RAM usage is around 75%-80%. Although I haven't had any issues using it, I'm not sure why the difference occurs. Is it due to different system logic, or is it due to some driver configuration errors?

I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this!
