This feels like the most probable explanation to me; companies hire tons of people skilled in web development, front and backend, and then suddenly desire a desktop app. Then they either don't want to recruit people who specialize in desktop apps or they don't want to retrain their web dev staff. And even if they were willing, they probably would still impose a ridiculous timeline and expect the app to be delivered. I can understand that an engineering team not familiar with desktop applications would choose Electron in such a scenario. However, in none of these decisions was the user experience a factor at all. That bothers me. "Just buy a laptop with 16GB RAM and stop complaining, get with the times", I hear the downvoters thinking. This development directly drives people towards purchasing a more powerful replacement computer. Chip shortage, electronic waste, does anyone care?
