An app is better than no app at all. Your "can we do better" scenario means that most of the electron apps we currently have would not exist, especially on an os like Linux. Memory is cheap. CPU is cheap. Disk space is beyond cheap. Developer time and motivation are extremely expensive. Let's see, which one should we optimize for? Yes, for cad, 3d, and games this probably isn't the right tool. But those apps are rare. For most apps, it seems to be. Are you going to pay thousands of dollars for your text editor like people to for cad? Or even $60 for it but buy millions of licenses like videogames sell? No, you're not. You likely expect these tools to be free but insist on criticising the underlying tech. Why not fork these apps yourself and rewrite them natively? Sure is better than the developer deciding not to make the app because cross platform development is too expensive or they don't have the time to learn swift, objective c, c#, and c++ to create "proper" cross platform apps. This argument is frankly tiring and beat to death. If you don't like the apps, don't use them. No one is holding a gun to your head.
