Why should it be JavaScript?

If we generalize to other languages, Qt does it very well in C++. You might like Qt or not (I'm not a big fan, but heavily prefer it over Electron), but it definitely does the job using much less resources than Electron (but still much bigger than pure platform-dependent native code...)

Why should it be JavaScript?

Because that is a design requirement.

That is one of the most sad design requirements I have ever read, then.
