nit: 4 Gigs might be reasonable

Technically, I don't believe the memory/cpu has a relationship to the number of open files.
Let's update this so we don't confuse ourselves/others in future.
The memory I believe will stop analysis of large applications, but it won't help for the open file limit
As to 4GB, that sounds reasonable, I ran with 8GB out of caution, i think @hhpatel14 is using 4GB.

Lets add the info about Mac and limiting the number of open files on a volume mount and please be sure to link to this known issue to help others to be fully aware: containers/podman#16106 (comment)
Note, I think this command needs to be run after every reboot, i.e. I don't think ulimit is persisted.
Worth calling this out so the end user is aware, they may want to put the ulimit in their shell login script
