Reading about the Resource Manager, I suspect the motivation here is that to use resources as a little cached database or filesystem -- they can be marked Purgeable so the Memory Manager will dump them when it needs space and it can be arranged that if they've been modified they'll be written to disk before being Purged. Especially in earlier and floppy-based MacOS, I assume being able to be lazy about writing data back to disk like this was a pretty big win.

Exploring software development on Classic 68K MacOS (late System 6 / early System 7) is wild.
I got THINK C 5.0.2 running in emulation, building some of the sample projects... and was wondering where exactly the intermediate files are going because I don't see anything on disk anywhere...
Turns out the compiler just stuffs all that in the project file itself, because I dunno, why not!
