Actually disk size argument is still relevant. My brand new MacBook pro has the same disk space as my 10 year old MacBook pro.

While hard drive space is cheap on spinning drives, space on consumer devices has stagnated or even decreased with the move to ssd

We are still talking ~100MB (from what I can see my entire VS Code install folder is 170 mb - 100 probably goes off to chromium stuff) - even if you use 10 electron apps 1GB of memory isn't going to kill your drive - really not worth the tradeoff and effort considering the alternatives.
