Yes, it actually does, because it redefines wasteful, and the availability of many-GB computers means a lot of people do have access.

This isn't 2008, we don't need to care about 150MB like we used to.

> many-GB computers

Most computers nowadays have 4/8GB, it's not that much memory compared to how much Electron uses.

If you have legitimate reason for using 150MB. Developer laziness is NOT a legitimate reason.
