I looked into this, and actually, it seems like maybe you can? https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc_pid_oom_score_adj...

So, in actuality, I think your assertion just taught us all something, because despite knowing that the OOM killer and that the Magic SysRq key[1] exists, I didn't know you could configure this as an input!
