Because of the small and delicate nature of many electronics, they are often encased in a great deal of packaging relative to the size of the item (think of the big annoying plastic packaging for tiny earbuds). Other products, like appliances, probably use more, but are not as overpackaged compared to the product itself (think of a refridgerator box, compared to the refridgerator itself).
