That's a fundamental feature of structured programming.

If we maintain the interface malloc(), realloc(), and free(), then we
could have a fairly simple or a fairly complicated scheme, and the
user doesn't care or need to know.

The problem is that a lot of techniques we can use to speed up memory
management, such as allocating from a stack, can't be used with this
interface. Designing good interfaces is hard.
