Elegance comes with an unexpected benefit: battery life. If we turned all common applications into Electron equivalents, the battery life would become abysmal with no benefits. If we turned all Electron applications into native equivalents the battery life would increase.

This compounds with scale, so it's using some additional electrical power per each user.

Also you can try and analyse it also as related to the number Electron applications per machine.

I'm not really sure that's particularly unexpected.
