    My Android phone is also much more beefy than all PC combined I owned between 1992 and 2003.

    Most embedded stuff doesn't need that much power.

    That is how we end up with Electron.

      What is wrong with having options? Even the ESP32 family already have C line for low power applications. No need to project Electron into everything.

        Exactly the option is using Raspberry PI instead of ESP32.

        I think trying to be everything devalues the original idea.
