It's also silly to pretend that users will notice or care, assuming a well written electron app. Again, look at VS Code. Now assume that the app is aimed at a non-technical audience who aren't going to be examining their resource monitors and who would never describe anything as a Mac citizen. If the customer doesn't notice or care, then the superiority of native apps does not exist.
