Genuine question: Why do you care about a few hundred MB of disk space for an app?
I could understand if it was a GB or so, but in this day and age it's USD 9c or less worth of disk space (assuming you use high end SSDs, if it's a HDD then it's under 1c).
This question has already been answered a bazillion times.
- Longer downloads (especially with updates) -> Discord update times are ridiculous, I can't imagine dealing with that for every app
- Slower to launch
- Can't keep the entire program in RAM
- It's Electron so it will use a ton of RAM anyways
