> electron is basically a browser wrapper in this case so yeah this is just skipping an unnecessary dependency.

No, it's a very stripped down browser.

Firefox with 0 browser extensions and only opened on that note taking website consumes 450MB of RAM, while my Obsidian installation only consumes 136MB.

Even just looking at that specific tab (on Chrome because Firefox doesn't show it), it consumes 86MB of RAM on the demo. I'll happily spare 50 extra MB for all the features of Obsidian.
