Spotify's Windows app is like that one friend who promises to be ready in 5 minutes but takes an hour. Built on Electron—a framework that lets devs wrap web apps in a desktop shell—Spotify somehow manages to consume more system resources than Chrome with 50 tabs open. The Windows version gets special mention because it's particularly guilty of turning your 16GB RAM machine into a glorified music player from 2005. Meanwhile, Discord and VS Code (also Electron apps) run smooth as butter. Spotify developers are probably too busy creating those personalized year-end playlists to notice your CPU fan screaming for mercy.
