Red Hat and other Gnome-/GTK-adjacent people were on the JS bandwagon well before Electron was a thing. Most Electron developers have never actually made a good faith effort to try out JS development using GTK. How many Electron developers even know that when they interact with a vanilla Ubuntu desktop, they are using a window manager and desktop environment written in JS? I'd be skeptical that it was anywhere north of 15%.
If GTK had received a fraction of the attention and misdirected enthusiasm that went into bolstering the NodeJS ecosystem, things would be very different.
