Now it’s true that an empty supervisor dedicated to tasks spawned by one user does not take much. But imagine you have 10K users, doesn’t having 10k empty supervisors running for nothing feel useless?

Not at all. That’s exactly the big benefit to cheap processes. You don’t need to “optimize” a good design for constraints in number of processes. A idle process is a few KB of RAM. For most devices even a lot of them is hardly a dent in their ram utilization.
