Ultimately we can't pigeon hole people into only building apps a certain way or else you limit the people making apps because they have to learn a new language just to do it so we need a phone strong enough to support other ways of building an app. For example, I've made 2 (nearly done with a third) apps for the PP but if I had to do it with ANSI C then I would have made zero and I would never make one because the time it would take to competently learn that just to make an app that might get downloaded by 100 people isn't viable.

Well, Golang is pretty OK too if ANSI C is too hard (though made by Google, but at least it doesn't output resource heavy apps by default).
And I'm sure there are many other languages out there that don't just waste memory just because the underlying platform (in the case of Electron apps, that's Chromium) takes a few GB of RAM just as soon as you start the app (a part of which you'll never get back until you reboot your PC/phone), and that's before any of your own code would load.
The reason why I used ANSI C as an example here is because it's as light as it can get (unless you make it bloated yourself obviously), but I didn't intend on saying it's the only option.
