Yeah, Marcelo that is kind of my take as well. I think this question as stated is good for discussion though but it will, in the end, be subjective. It is a good way to spark a discussion on what is wasteful and also what resources do we in general value higher than others. The discussion about electron I think comes from how some people prioritize system resources higher than others.

That's, in part, we have jobs, to evaluate the trade off and make a informed desition. As you mentioned about Python/C++, is the one in charge of the design who should take both costs and constrains and choose, in this case between Python and C++, if so many are using Electron apps there must be preferable for their use case, maybe RAM is no concern, is not that expensive after all. And some people even buy Ferrari :D
