A Qt install with all the bells and whistles is about 500 megabytes, so it’s very comparable in size to Electron. Qml is a lot easier to develop in than Node+browser though.

Size on disk isn't, or shouldn't be a problem today. In an ecosystem where there are games that take up over 100 gigabytes of storage, few apps should be large enough to make a user double take. CPU and Memory usage on the other hand can be serious concerns and one where Electron apps have a serious problem compared to traditional approaches.
