Looks like PSI based oom killing doesn't work without swap.
Therefore
oomd can't be considered a universal solution. Quite a lot of
developers have workstations with quite a decent amount of RAM,
~64GiB, and do not use swap at all. Server baremetal are likewise
mixed, depending on workloads, and in cloud it's rare for swap to
exist.
While it's true some systems without swap are possible, it's not common,
except in the case of virtual machines, in which case it depends heavily on
the vendor.
