I (and I think most users) don't care about how much memory an individual webpage uses, as long as it feels fast.
I'm sure there are many like you who want applications to be frugal with memory and cpu consumptions, but I think most users don't really give a damn.

- caslon 5y agoI personally like having battery life and the ability to multitask. I don't think it's something that only non-technical users want, or even something particularly rare. Surely most users like their phones lasting longer on a single charge, given that's sort of the root of the discussion.

There are bloated web apps that should be improved for sure, but they also exist with "native" languages. The issue has always been runtime computations, PWAs are perfomant if you keep them low. I wrote myself an ebook and webnovel reader PWA which tracks progress by pixels and percentage amongst other things. There is no noticeable difference between fbreader (native) and this angular app. I get the same amount of drain per hour as I repeatedly verified when I switched.
