Yes, but that's normally what people mean when they talk in broad strokes about "electron apps". Anything beyond that is application data, which is going to be roughly the same regardless of stack, and in nontrivial apps quickly comes to dominate.

I mean, I assume you're using more than just some regular electron apps. macOS itself is currently using 8GB of RAM on my machine, my docker VM is using 4GB (down from a default of 8GB), etc. And that doesn't include my IDE and its code-scanning and type-checking background processes.
