    Genuine question, why does it matter? Why shouldn’t a project choose a production ready method of creating cross platform compatible code to avoid duplication of efforts and cost?

      why does it matter?

      because most people use more than one program at the same time? fire up that one along with, I dunno, Spotify and Discord and Slack, and suddenly your midrange laptop’s RAM is all but gone.

        Same thing happens to me if I were to open each of those apps as chrome tabs.

        The apps you listed provide a web version also. Adding choice to the customer experience is a good thing!

          That’s a bad analogy. A browser with 5 tabs is not like having 5 different browsers open.

            User experience is not just about optimizing every little bit of your RAM consumption. They’re are plenty of other factors as well

              Yes, and UX is bad in web applications. I‘m saying that as a web application developer.
