And this isn't just desktops. We're also talking about laptops, and Electron based software completely disregards battery life concerns.

Chrome (technically not Electron but it includes all the same problems) and Spotify gobble down enough power that I make a point of not using them if I'm away from my power cord.

Here I thought the gradual year-over-year percentage increases in battery technology were going to get us better battery life, but it turns out we'd rather just write shittier software.
