Electron piggybacks on the massive web ecosystem which is funded by SaaS, advertising, and surveillance so it lacks the abandonware problem. Unfortunately it's also not really built for the role of desktop or mobile UI layer and so you get a bloated, insecure, slow mess when you try to shoehorn it in there. We don't get what we won't pay for.
