Java's selling point was portability, and did it very well, it was faster than programs written in interpreted languages, well it was and still is slightly slower than programs written in C and likes. Programs written on Electron rely solely on web technologies, I always avoid these programs, one simple chat application eats up to half a GB of memory, no I am not going to increase my machine's memory in order to run those programs.
