I think the difference is CAD is already expensive in memory and CPU time, so any increase would likely be very noticeable. With IDE's and messaging clients, pretty much any computer can run even the most inefficient ones fairly well since they aren't doing anything super resource intensive, so it makes sense to prioritize feature development over efficiency improvements which wouldn't really affect the end user very much. Personally, I dislike the idea of Electron apps and the slight increase in input lag and lack of customization, so I never install them on my personal computer (I just use the website, since that is essentially all the app is anyways), but I can see that for most people it makes sense to trade off efficiency for feature development in this case.
