No one cares one whit about the battery/memory/CPU requirements of software they can't run in the first place.

And at least in my experience, spinning up a VM to run windows only software is a bigger battery/memory/cpu hit than running electron.

I would love it if Electron was better on those fronts (not to mention a few others) but it's good enough for most of my current use cases.
