The question is: what is bloat? Is everything that depends on Electron bloated? I'd say yes, and there's a lot of non-enterprise software that uses electron. So I'd rather say what is special about enterprise software are UI/UX-trade-offs that are unimaginable for consumer software. And these trade-offs are often (not always) reasonable.

Everything that isn't based on the binary lambda calculus is bloated https://justine.lol/lambda/
> What is Software Bloat? > > Bloated software uses much more resources than necessary to do its job, the most important resources being CPU time, memory, I/O, and disk space. Furthermore, software with lots of features can also be called bloated since it is harder to learn and use, and naturally requires more resources than software with only the desired features would.
