I see we can't meet in the middle on this issue. I'm not saying all Electron programs are bad. VSCode, for example, is surprisingly good for many use cases, and being an IDE with many features, its resource usage is pretty justified. I'm also not buying that people need software that only exists as Electron programs. Check the categories in https://www.electronjs.org/apps https://www.electronjs.org/apps, there's even taskbar notifications and app launchers, do those merit running a dedicated browser? It's not that users need "non-imaginary" software and Electron fills that need, it's that most users don't know about native and web frameworks, and they will install software as long as their computer can run it, even if better alternatives exist right now.
