Fucking Chrome/Electron is why.
I honestly wouldn't mind that if they could all use the exact same runtime so the apps could be a few MB each, but nooooo.
Is there any alternatives to electron ? And why people's doesn't move on to alternatives if electron is huge & heavy resources ?
The alternative is "just serve it as a regular website". It doesn't need to be an app to do its job. Name a functionality which only exists in electron but not in the standard browser API.
