Maybe because the author wants to target more than 15% of the desktop market? https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide Don't feel bad - I'm writing this on a Linux laptop which has less market share (2%) than "unknown" (8%) on that graph. I know it is a resource hog but I'm glad Electron is around so that I have access to the latest mainstream apps.
