Video transcoding is done on the GPU and has nothing to do with memory/storage.

And there isn't a trend towards more Electron apps. Increasingly developers are using Tauri which is Rust based and extremely lightweight.

Is there a single popular Tauri app? What are the most popular?

Tauri is not that much different from Electron honestly.

That is simply not true. My Tauri app is 38MB: https://github.com/harana/search/releases

Electron Framework alone on macOS is 356MB.

And this is reflected in memory usage as well.

The Tauri app just uses the system WKWebView. Memory usage can be misleading due to reporting, see e.g. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/5889

Yeah not sure how it qualifies as lightweight...
