It's a shame that Electron isn't modular. I think there were some attempts to make modular versions that would lead to smaller bundle sizes and resource consumption. I think the reason why Slack is os successful with such a poor performing app is most people using the app have machines provided by employers and they're good enough to handle the app without issue.

That's always been the refrain for why released software doesn't perform well, and it was a problem traditionally mtigated by software testers with a wide variety of hardware. You see the same thing on the web with slow-loading sites that clearly weren't tested outside a first-class first-world 4G or wi-fi connection.
Props to Facebook for mandating low-bandwidth testing
