No matter how many other programs I am running, when I open task manager it always seems like Chrome is at 1000 or 2000+ MB of memory usage, whereas everything else barely hits 500MB

Don’t think of Chrome as one app. Think of it as like 5 or 10.
It renders webpages.
It plays video.
It can stream audio.
It runs Javascript programs.
It can do 3d graphics.
It can stream data to and from the internet.
It acts as a firewall.
It isolates each javascript program (and webpage) from all the rest, requiring duplicates of all the above functionality.
Every tab you have open is like a set of programs all working together to make a webpage do its thing.
