Is storage space really that big of a concern, with many multiple terabyte drives being commonplace? Out of all of the issues with electron, I don't think wasting 150MB is one of them.

Those are common, but small SSD are just as (if not more) common, so yes it matters. It's also a matter of RAM, which is not as abundant as disk space

OP is talking about wasting 300MB for each Electron-based app you install.

With many of the lower-end laptops, price-wise, having ~128GB of SSD space, yes, it's a concern.
