Heavy use of resources IS a bad thing in and of itself (if it's not necessary for the task being done - I fully expect a game to eat up my CPU and GPU). We're not on DOS with only one application running at a time. If all my resources are being eaten up by bloated websites and Discord and Atom and other crappy Electron apps, that's less resources for other programs that might actually need them.

I can't help but get the feeling the only reason my Google phone has an 8-core processor is so news sites can play more ads.
