The bundled executable does not perform better and because it includes a full Node it is a whole lot bigger (22MB) than just the 13kb JavaScript.

A 22 MB executable file which does not have a significant performance advantage is a perfectly good reason to question the Why, in my irrelevant opinion...

I'm suggesting that those who ask for an improvement should consider native development instead.

I would like to brutally honestly point out that I have not really done much benchmarking to support my claim that there is no difference.

I have. It even becomes worse because of the additional library overhead.
