Depends, there is a bunch of Electron apps that work just fine as websites (e.g. Slack, Spotify, Microsoft Teams, etc. As far as I know). I personally prefer running those in a browser tab to both save resources and benefit from privacy enhancing tools like content blockers, etc. I would be curious to know how many of the Electron apps actually need these extra native APIs.
