Because it holds back innovations, which is what we’re talking about.

It's one thing when more resources allows you to do something that was not possible without them and entirely different thing when you need to throw gigabytes and gigahertz at programs offering less (because minimalism!!!1111!1).
What innovations Electron brings to the table? That web devs can now not only bloat websites but also desktop apps?
More resources should mean that I can do things that were not possible before, or that I can do more things at the same time and not that I can do less because someone is to lazy to learn something new.
You can tell when the average viewer of this site learned to program by how irrationally clingy they are to things like the concept of memory management.
It used to matter a lot more, when those people were learning, so now it has to still matter!!!111oneoneeleven
