For a start, there's a problem with a system (and thus performance) if cache usage is always very low. "Unused" memory does not help in this case. Seeing this value staying in a "good" state helps to confirm that despite large memory hogs coming and going the cache is utilized optimally. If not, I might add more memory or change the system configuration (e.g. ban Electron apps ;) to improve cache utilization. If I would only see "free" memory, I would not be able to evaluate this.
