This is true. Addons cannot technically leak memory, but they can allocate tables and never "free" them, which to an addon user looks like the same thing. When someone says an addon "Leaks Memory", I know what they mean. The distinction does not matter to a user.
I have done limited testing with ArkInventory about a year ago looking at a reported conflict. It actually worked fine back then when I tested the latest version. I don't recall any more problem reports with that addon until now.
