A path that might bring us out of there would be if the browser vendors defined a subset of HTML, CSS and the DOM API that guarantees an extra fast path through rendering and JIT. Basically leave out everything that makes browsers hard and resource intensive to implement. The increased speed would be the selling point for developers and the simplified and efficient APIs would make it possible to implement something like Electron-Light from scratch which would only need tens of MB RAM, instead of hundreds.
