“Business reasons” and “convenience for end users” are not entirely decoupled because developer time is not infinite or free. As an end user, the app that exists on my platform (Figma on windows) is better than the app that never got ported because it’s codebase is tied into a bunch of OS native stuff (Sketch). If an app costs half as much because it’s easier to hire developers who know JS compared to native devs, I’ll also be happy. If an app gets features added faster, or is less buggy, or has a better plugin interface, hey, I won’t complain. There’s nothing that says “as an end user I’ll always prefer electron” - I don’t care what it’s written in. But from my perspective there seems to be a lot of high quality electron software that may not have existed otherwise.
