I'm not a developer lol so sorry if it's too absurd a leap but that entire game engine consumes maybe 100-200MB of ram and 30MB of storage overhead compared to the multiple gigabytes of nwjs/electron/etc. Yes it's absurd and inefficient but that's the point of a meme. Even shipping an entire game engine is less ridiculous.
