1. Let the user choose whether he/she wants to spend the RAM on it. Some RPi's may have little RAM onboard, or have software that requires a lot; this is the safe default.
2. Maybe during the boot process some things are initially written to disk-based /tmp before the tmpfs service starts.
I don't know, could be interesting to think about changing the default for moOde? Or make it a system setting? After all, moOde itself takes very little RAM, and most RPi's have plenty. So it would be a safe thing to do in 99.9% of cases.
Pi Zeroes and Pi 3A+ have 512 MB of RAM. I think I’d want user-selectable setting for them, just in case

Finding out /tmp isn’t currently a tmpfs in moOde was a surprise to me. I forgot to follow the “trust but verify” dictum.
