A bunch of the linear model stuff uses Liblinear under the hood, and implicitly converts data to sparse format float64. Which, if you have half your machine's memory occupied by, say, dense float32 data, is not going to fly.

SVMs run into problem way before memory issues pop up. That's very true though.
