This will open a new can of worms. A new electron app uses some new feature that updates your runtime. But unfortunately the runtime update to make one app work breaks some other app.

The current model isolates the runtime to every app. The download size may be big but I have a guarantee that my app will work without interference from others. Honestly, that guarantee justifies the binary size for me.




Or electron runtime can do the sane thing and be backward compatible for a few version numbers. It's basic API stability.
