The problem with Electron apps is that they can be done well, or they can be done poorly. And if they're done poorly, wow, may as well add cryptominer code for the drain on battery you're going to cause. That isn't to say Electron is bad, quite the contrary, but it isn't a silver bullet either. To your "do you think..." question, I think it is an aspect in their success. Gone are the days where someone could say "this site requires IE 6/IE 7/Firefox/Chrome/etc." and be successful. Going onto Facebook, I don't think the site looks great, but it functionally works in any browser I've come across in an expected manner. But if they'd require a native electron or otherwise app? Wouldn't use it (don't have Facebook or Messenger installed on my phone or tablet, I only check messages where allowed which is desktop and tablet web sites, everything else I use it for works fine in mobile/tablet/desktop).
