Here is a quick example of an application labeled as lightweight, which turns out to be a 500MB+ Electron monstrosity:

"MarkText is a lightweight, user-friendly Markdown editor that serves as a free and open-source alternative to Typora. It’s designed for everyday users who want a clean, intuitive experience."

If the application is free (with no strings attached), I would not really complain. But the main offenders are apps by large companies that have revenues in billions. The problem is that most of the userbase do not complain.
