While this decision looks rational and technically solid on the surface, it makes the Mac platform, and in particular the Mac app store, even less appealing to developers.
Here on HN we hear constantly of developers dropping out of the Mac app store. If we cobsider the premium (justified or not) of apple laptops, and thus the relatively limited audience they target, we can easily predict a steeper decline in interest to develop for the Mac platform.
Having said that, we should also consider that Electron is indirectly owned by Microsoft, and is based on tech by Google. So I don't see much incentive on their part to fix this quickly, and one could even argue that they have some interest in not fixing at all this.
