Part of the issue is that 64-bit programs end up taking close to twice as much memory, because pointers are twice as big, instructions are longer, etc.

Higher screen resolution uses more memory too.

I'm sure dependencies / libraries have grown in size too, and yeah, using web for UI takes memory.
