As things stand now there is no place for native desktop apps. You have to give users a reason to prefer native desktop apps. But today, thanks to Flat UI, most end users can't even tell a native Windows app from an Electron app. If users don't demand native apps then developers have no reason to limit their customer base to Windows users (or Mac users). For users to demand native apps, native apps must have a distinctive look and feel that is loved by end users. Before Apple switched to Flat UI, Mac OS X apps did have such a look & feel, and developers were making OS X native apps even when users could use a Web version. If Apple or Microsoft dropped the Flat UI stupidity — which is both ugly and has usability issues — then one day demand for native apps may return.
