  It's not valid (or even remotely tangential) to compare a hello world app with minimal GUI to a full web browser.

    How about comparing a hello world app to another hello world app? Or do you consider that comparison invalid because Electron/Chromium don't have ways to strip unused features? To me, a comparison of similar end results is reasonable. Arguments about whether hello world apps represent reality, or comparisons between WebGL/WebAudio apps vs LWJGL apps, would be more apt.

    The Java standard libraries also contain a full web browser, and much more than what your browser can do.

        The point is that even if you add the module for the browser, you’re still significantly smaller than Electron – while, at the same time, Java can actually eliminate unused modules for you, which Electron doesn’t.

    They didn't. They compared a hello world app with minimal GUI (implemented with Electron) to a hello world app with minimal GUI (implemented with Java).
