Doesn't sound that bad on desktop. The binaries for Qt or the java JVM are not small either.

I suppose it's a problem on mobile though.

Hmmm.

Qt programs are pretty small. Java are bigger but still much much smaller than any Electron-based program.

IIRC JRE is about 50 MB. Probably less. So even if you include it with your Java program, it's STILL smaller than Electron programs.
