You don’t just have to jump to kill -9 like that. At least give the misbehaving program a chance to get it’s affairs in order and a chance to say goodbye to it’s children with a standard kill command.
Yeah, I rarely resort to a SIGKILL signal. I just thought this illustration was funny.

Yeah, SIGKILL is indispensable when it comes to thrashing scenarios. I’d have librewolf opened for days on end because I use a laptop for my main workstation and it’d slowly leak memory until I run out of ZRAM for my swap and my system would lock up. I’d just enter a different TTY and SIGKILL librewolf. This rarely happens now since I have 16GB of memory with my “newer” used laptop.

Aight, I will not use kill -9 I promise

All fun and games until kill -9 hangs and dmesg is filling with kernel oops’s.
