What can I say: it's not realistic and I already gave you two technical
reasons why that is.

Maybe so. But to the extent that you consciously decided it's OK for
Emacs to use 200MB at time-step A, then you basically lost the "moral
authority" to say that it's not OK for Emacs to still uses up 200MB at
time-step B.
If you can show a similar excessive use of memory without doing
something like (setq gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum), the
question becomes quite different.
