In your example you forget that swap needs to filled almost to full for early-oom to start reacting. That takes time during which the system responsibility is abysmal. The UX difference happens only after you've already suffered through a serious responsivity degradation, and the only difference is the end state, *if* you've managed to wait long enough for early-oom to kick in (which happens earlier than kernel oom and with better results about which process gets killed, according to Chris).

Right, we understand this. earlyoom (or a systemd-level OOM solution) is only half the solution. The other half will be fixing swap. That will probably require (a) reducing the amount of swap created by anaconda, and/or (b) swap on zram.
