They could be pretty interested in shifting it away from Chromium an V8-based Node to something that uses platform webviews (Edge on Windows) and a platform-specific JS engine backing Node (ChakraCore on Windows). I believe they have posted open-source experimental forks in that direction in the past. That's very different from killing it, but it could make developing or supporting Electron apps more difficult - plus the fear that it could then start sliding down the slope of the Windows version getting more investment, eventually leading to the classic "it's best on Windows" embrace/extend platform lockin. I'm not betting on that being their play, but I could see how people would worry...
