Seeing that it's macOS only for now, it's probably using WKWebView underneath (same as Safari) which is considerably easier on resources than Chromium is.
A web wrapper that uses the system's resident web renderer would be a wonderful alternative to electron. A Linux build could also use WebKit, and perhaps the Windows version could be based on Edge.
