"My car runs fine with the five anvils in the trunk" isn't the argument you're looking for.
Performance isn't the only problem with Electron either. Electron apps fail to integrate with native system components both from look and feel and accessibility aspects like incorrect zoom levels on HiDPI displays etc. They are even worse than browser tabs in that manner.
> I don't see an XAML based C# .NET desktop app performing marginally better than an equivalent well-written Electron app either
RAM usage would be at least an order of magnitude different. Nothing to do with how well-written it is either. It's inevitable.
