In a sense the cache tells me about aggregated memory pressure from the past (because the cache will only slowly fill up again after it was squeezed), and the unused memory is a metrics showing the current memory pressure. I find it useful, and apparently when it was first introduced in KDE and later ported to Plasma it was deemed useful. It's a power user tool anyway, please don't tell users to go back to `xosview` (which won't work on Wayland). I see where you are coming from, though. Maybe you can make this transparent by default, and anyone liking the feature could turn on the colour again?
