I think there is. I would say the connection is not that electron didn’t exist before, but that now that ram prices are high, an increase in the number of electron apps becomes a problem because of the ram usage. Not that the usage wasn’t a problem before, but that more people are using even more electron apps now than ever, hence their “industry standard” comment.
But it’s not like electron apps became an industry standard now that there is a memory shortage. I also don’t think there is an increase in electron apps now that there is a memory shortage. These things are not connected in the way the meme suggests. Is it more problematic since memory is more expensive? Sure, maybe for some people running old hardware that want to upgrade. Otherwise, a lot of people already have plenty of memory to run these apps.
I do not see the causal connection you are seeing in the meme at all. I just see it pointing out that now is a particularly bad time for Electron apps to be so dominant, which is true.
You aren’t reading the meme correctly. It’s not a connection, is a coincidence.
It just says a thing ,that uses 500 mb of ram per instance, had become an industry standard. That’s the happy face. Hey I created a thing for myself but it got used so much it became a standard.
The second face is like oh shit, I did not make this efficient with its memory usage but now it’s standard and ram prices are terrible so the thing that was sparking joy, is now kind of a problem because its flaws now actually matter
