It's the same deal with most of the big tech companies' web apps. Facebook, Twitter, etc all seem to somehow not only take up gigabytes of memory, but waste CPU cycles even when their pages are in the background. Add that to every app that insists on being bundled into a browser via Electron, and you'll quickly have memory eaten up. Blows my mind that premium products like Macs, and even some premium business laptop lines, are still shipping with 8GB of memory.
