I think it’s primarily due to ease of use. Granted, I’m not an Electron dev, but I believe most “modern” developers would have an easier time writing a UI and application using HTML/CSS/JS, than a language like Python/C++/Java. I’m incredibly partial to Qt and love the framework (particularly the ability to style it and its C++/Python bindings). But even after making a small GUI application I can see why some would prefer more simple to use frameworks, whatever the resource or performance costs may be.

> I think it’s primarily due to ease of use. Ease of use? What's easier, MS Visual Basic/Embarcadero Delphi, or the application-oriented parts of HTML/CSS/JS? Even Python (which is freely available) is not exactly hard, and there are plenty of native apps using e.g. WxPython. It's not "ease of use", it's more like webdev "brogrammers" wanting to have their cake and eat it too.
