Why does Android Studio take more RAM when doing native development compared to flutter?

Question

I just started learning flutter, and I realized that android studio is taking a lot less RAM compared to when I was doing native development.

During native development, without emulator, RAM usage keeps increasing & easily reaches 6+ GB, I'm pretty sure it would reach even higher if my system had more than 8 GB. But, when developing flutter app, with emulator running, the RAM usage remains near 4.3 GB.

Why does native development take significantly more RAM. Is there any fix?
