I though about it, as a workaround. But realistically:
- my base ram consumption is 2Gb, so it would make 5gb with the VM, giving me 3gb for: firefox, and IDE, thunderbird, telegram, stremio, libreoffice, nautilus, veracrypt, liferea, gnome calendar, keypass, dev tools such as linter/dev servers/formatters, tilix, veracrypt, youtube-dl, jupyter, other VM I use for work... Even if I don't use them all at the same time, that's not a lot real estate. It used to be enough. When I used sublime instead of vscode, didn't have 4 communications apps and so on. You gotta hand it to the electron community: their software do bring good features.
- The ergonomics would be terrible for certain softwares. For chat, it would be alright (no notification is ok with me), but for stuff like dynalist, I need to be productive
- It's slow to use. You can feel the reaction time with every action. Android is slow in itself, but in an emulator, you want chain too many actions
Yes if people used it, but no because people would probably not.
One of the reason electron is so easy to package: it creates a big blog of statically linked everything. If you start having to play the packaging game correctly, you get back to the same problems other run time had.
