The good news is, almost definitely! It's really hard to protect web apps from reverse engineering because a lot of decisions were made to make them out of human readable files ages ago, almost any electron app can be broken open and tinkered with, there are exceptions, though. VSCode, for instance, is an electron app, but basically only for their UI at this point, larges swathes of the app's interesting functionality is written in cross compiled C++. But for an electron app that's just tweaking settings in a Driver? Probably. Ultimately the electron code cannot be very tightly integrated since that's not how drivers work, but then it becomes an arms race of weird protocols to force you into using their app instead of an alternative and we're back to square 1, only now the device has this weird opaque, and possibly crypto signed api for controlling it instead of just bit banging values into memory
