No, compared to everything else in those apps. i.e. if they are writing extremely bloated Electron apps why would the native version be less slow and bloated? I mean Electron's overhead is mostly fixed (it's still a lot but its possible to keep memory usage we below 1 GB or even 500 BB even for more complex applications).
The overhead added by Electron is hardly that significant at this point, you can still use it to write significantly more efficient apps
The overhead of an entire browser engine isn’t significant compared to a native app?

Electron has been a blessing and a horrible thing at the same time.
