The average consumer running electron apps on a MacBook is using far less power than the average HN user with a 1000w home lab made out of salvaged obsolete parts.
Not to mention half the users here rally against EVs, public transport, and probably own an F150. The environment only matters when we are talking about a 1w savings with election vs qt.

Both of these would be using less power with more efficient software.
But no, lets excuse shitty practices that could save a lot (over the entire userbase) for relatively little effort because it doesn't solve everything.
