You said it yourself:
This is not a common attitude to have outside of embedded and similar areas. Most programmers dynamically allocate memory without a second thought and not as a last resort. Python is one of the most popular programming languages, but how often do you see Python code that is capable of running without allocating memory at runtime?
I guess I'm taking the meme too literally here and that people would be disgusted by it. While I think it's a common practice, but obviously to be used very judiciously.
