People want software that is fast, slow (and bloated) software frustrates normal people, they just can't articulate it or identify the correct source of their frustrations. As I said in another post just yesterday, you'll often hear people say everything from "god I hate Microsoft" to "i think I need a new machine" to "I might have a virus". Once you dig into the problem it's often just a particular app (or bloated website) that is slow, or something else on the machine eating up way to much RAM and causing everything to swap.
I'd love to run an experiment where group A has native apps written in a low level language and group B has entirely electron based ones. I'd bet my house that group B has a hell of a lot more general complaints.
