Of course a chat program needs a 4GB electron app. That's the bare minimum to match 1990s ICQ.

I think it was a comment on the use case for an app not really changing but the resources to run it bloating significantly.... E.g. software running on a computer with MB of ram then and now the app alone requiring GB.
