Why would it matter if a piece of software uses CPU and RAM if it doesn't negatively affect the performance of the system?

It may not impact the performance, but it certainly does the battery life and fan noise in a laptop.

It affects the performance of the system! By "smooth", I referred to KDE's UX, which is more or less smooth. But the overall system performance reduces due to less resource when you run some heavyweight tasks.
