The problem with regard to RAM consumption is the tragedy of the commons. One electron app is okay, but once you're running up to ten or more of them, the resource usage gets out of hand.
I remember back in the early 2000's when everybody was complaining about Java. That it was “slow”, and “used a lot of memory”, and that its UI “is not native”.
Now it's all JS and Electron and every single complaint people used against Java is an order of magnitude worse and everybody seems to be happy about it.
