Something no one talks about enough:
CPU cycles aren't free.
Memory reads and writes aren't free.
That shit takes power. A miniscule amount per instance, yes, but it adds up quick if it's from an app that everyone uses constantly. All that power comes from somewhere, and right now that's mostly fossil fuels.
When people complain about software bloat, it's not just a UX problem, it's an environmental one too.
