It’s not so much about wasting resources as it is about the added latency, jankiness, and inconsistency in look & feel hurting usability.

And how about reliability? Having to start a web browser and a web framework to display core OS functionality adds a lot of moving parts that can break.

    The point was that users mostly don’t care about wasting resources, but about usability. If usability wasn’t impacted, few people would care about resources being wasted. But since usability is very much impacted, people (rightfully) complain.
