for a team that was using the underlying stack (other than the ui library) for other components, trying this is a low-hanging fruit of an experiment. this should not automatically become the recommendation for everybody. (yes i do hate electron apps)

for a large project like electron, it is up to the maintainers to optimize it while preserving the api. if they can do this with typescript, they can also explore this with electron. perhaps a native webview option instead of chromium?

with current memory crisis, devs with cushy performant laptops bought over a year ago should realize that we yet again have hardware constraints and need to act accordingly. however, putting the pressure at the wrong place is not as productive.
