I was starting to build an Electron app recently. My "hello world" app was using about 200mb, and so I was thinking things looked pretty good, and it wouldn't be too heavy if I was careful.
Then I noticed there were actually more system processes involved with the app that I realized, it was really using about 400mb.
Then I starting resizing the "hello world" app's window. I maximized it, minimized it, and shook my mouse furiously making the window all kinds of shapes and sizes. After this the app related threads were using about 1gig of memory. Just for a "hello world" app.
Now I'm always hesitant to accept claims that an Electron app isn't using much memory. Are you sure you're looking at all the related system threads?
