Surely it depends on the specific software.

I imagine the ability for an app to watch me take a shit consumes about the same resources regardless of platform.

Every decent piece of software has crap loads of resources: icons, texts, translations, manuals, sounds, fonts, etc. Even hello world app contains at least one resource - "hello world" string and what's funny is that executable meta data required by operating systems and the string take more space than the actual code to print this string.
