Tauri is not that much different from Electron honestly.

That is simply not true. My Tauri app is 38MB: https://github.com/harana/search/releases

The Tauri app just uses the system WKWebView. Memory usage can be misleading due to reporting, see e.g. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/5889
