I agree with your analysis, but there's a little more to it. Indirectly, there are two important ways in which end users benefit significantly: 1. Higher likelihood that the app will be available at all on their platform. 2. Companies/developers are able to direct resources more to features end users are actually interested in, vs spending on rebuilding for multiple platforms. I think both Discord and VS Code are pretty solid examples of this. The rate at which they delivered their extensive feature sets to mac/win/linux felt like something totally new: I don't recall any other case of seeing such high quality, complex software show up for multiple platforms so suddenly in that way. (Of course I'm very intentionally saying 'felt' here—I have no objective measure)
