I'm the contributor regarding the VTxxx stuff. I agree with your idea, considering the fact that Discord uses Electron which is just sandboxed Chromium, which uses quite a lot of RAM. For a product marketed towards gamers (or at least was), this is not good. What a shitty reality. I wish I can go back to TS3 and its Qt client... oh well, we have Mumble anyway.

Typical company using open source but also giving the middle finger to open sourcers.

Each time this happens, Stallman seems a little bit more sane.

He always seemed sane to me. If anything, it's the people who knowingly use non-free software (or develop against non-free APIs) who seem a bit insane.
