Why is Electron so huge?

Electron is headless Chrome/Blink, no? If it was meant for that purpose, why have they not trimmed some of the fluff in terms of size and performance?

Every time someone develops something in Electron, the first gripe is that it is huge and not performative. Just wondering why this hasn't been solved yet, or if it is even possible to solve.

EDIT - Before this gets too far, by poor performance I am actually referring to high resource usage.

It's not headless. Headless means no graphics (or rather, no display).

The thing that make web browsers huge is the html/css renderer and the javascript engine. If you remove that electron is useless.
