Even if it would be running natively, the statement'd be still highly debatable.
But it's Electron based and using TypeScript, which means it uses a lot more electricity than a native solution would (about 20 times [1]), wasting precious resources. Now consider the fact that this is a product of a company that states "to ensure that technology is inclusive, trusted, and increases sustainability."
The only amazing thing here is the level of hypocrisy, IMHO.

Or you can set up a grid and calculate the chunks.
When I was learning a new language in my collage days, my helloworld used to be implementing a Mandelbrot/Julia set on the given language. A few months ago I decided to look into Rust and started to work on my helloworld in Rust, using RayLib :-)
Here's an example output from my version: https://ibb.co/p4bFF7S
From an optimization point of view, it means that if a rectangular area's edges contains only values reached the iteration limit without growing larger than the escape value, the entire area belongs to the Mandelbrot set.
A lot of junk mail landed in my mailbox when I moved to a new place, until I put a red dot sticker on it. Within a week or two, they disappeared.
We should implement this "red dot sticker" feature in browsers (with optional exceptions), and pages, services and whatnot should respect it, or they will be facing fines. Fines that really hurt.
UI and UX matters more than developers care to admit.
