IMO those are specific choices for specific types of applications, when most people just need a simple front end for their app.

I haven't noticed it, and use Atom (Electron based) on a Laptop often. It's a MacBookPro, so already one of the better in terms of battery consumption, but I use it disconnected from Power for upwards of 5-6 hours at a time with no issues.
