You couldn't be less coherent about this.
Desktop development has stagnated because of the proliferation of web technologies, not because desktop frameworks aren't very good. Qt is great, gtk is great, hell, with the right configuration, working with WinForms can be pleasant.
Electron packs a browser with each app, and that's unacceptable. Adobe used to have something called AIR, years before electron, but idk if they were just packing up a browser or not. I used to use the desktop version of tweetdeck, which used AIR, and it was pretty damn fast.
Anyways, you clearly don't know anything about desktop development, so rather than make claims that are wrong, just stick to what you DO know.
