I agree, Electron apps are way too big. They include so much cruft whether you use them or not. I prefer to write apps with separate server and client parts and the client JS/HTML is generated by in-house tools and thus is a fraction of the size of anything that would uses any of the popular frameworks. In any case, I'm finding that WebApps are easier to deploy and update than writing for native deployment. In the rare cases that I do need native features, I can deploy a local server which can then access whatever I need. The clean separation of concerns between client and server does simplify architectural design.
