I would not ever uninstall the Windows Store - too much potential for issues - but I always turn off ALL apps that attempt to run in the background as a matter of course... (not that there's much or any left after running Windows 10 Decrapifier during OOBE).
That article doesn't say if the SysMain service (previously known as SuperFetch) had been disabled. If it had not, then this would explain the significant difference in memory usage. While SysMain leverages otherwise idle memory to cache most commonly accessed data, should an application ever require more memory, SysMain releases that memory back to ensure there is never an issue of resource contention. So, the fact it uses more memory due to it having more apps to load into the cache, doesn't also mean that it hogs the memory. Rather, it ensures that it doesn't.

The same also holds true for CPU resources and I/O resources, BTW.

I have turned off all background apps. So far, so good.
Code:(REG Add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\BackgroundAccessApplications" /V "GlobalUserDisabled" /T REG_DWORD /D "1" /F) (REG Add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /V "BackgroundAppGlobalToggle" /T REG_DWORD /D "0" /F)
