These aren't Electron apps. They are applications written in Javascript and compiled to native via ReactXP and react-native-windows.
Maintainability is a problem regardless of language, scaling is moot as these run native code, scalability is an odd word choice given we are talking about desktop apps, and intrinsic conversion can be solved via TypeScript, Flow or any other typing framework. C, Java and C# all have their own set of downsides as well, but we don't pretend those aren't "real" languages.
You are correct that "it doesn't have to be this way" which is why native compilation exists and is continuing to grow.
