The eternal developer dilemma: take the sunny path to the magical castle of proper native app development, or venture into the dark, RAM-devouring thunderstorm that is Electron. Sure, Electron lets you slap a website into a desktop wrapper and call it a day, but you'll be shipping a 200MB "hello world" app that eats memory like it's at an all-you-can-consume buffet. Meanwhile, compiling to WASM is the noble path—lean, fast, and actually respectable—but requires you to know what you're doing. Most devs just want their website to be an app without learning C++ or Rust, so they choose the path of darkness and 8 Chrome instances running simultaneously.
