Sounds unlikely.

I'm running Mint 21.3 and used Mint since 32 bit 17.x and I've never seen tmp in RAM.

I've two, one is on root (which is on an SSD, thus is /tmp) and one is in my home /home/<user>/tmp
/home and /var are partitions on a SATA HDD.

By default at install time everything is on the root device. Nothing is mounted in RAM.

I guess at some stage you changed tmp to be on RAM and that's got preserved on updates.
I've both upgrades to Mint 21.3 and a fresh install.
Several laptops, pcs and a workstation. Only 2 have SSDs (a laptop and a workstation)

With VMs more common (need more RAM) I can't imagine why you'd want to waste RAM on tmp files.
