And even if the speed and memory penalties are exactly the same as they were 20 years ago, you no longer need to support a pentium 3 with 64MB of RAM. If you write code that would have performed well 20 years ago, then bloat it 300%, it'll run just fine. I'd rather have that than just about any electron app.
