I love how he takes a huge, highly custom (custom widgets and things everywhere) and unoptimized Qt application (Telegram Desktop), that as of late has started shipping with a version of WebKit for some functionality related to payments, without mentioning it's unreasonably huge for a Qt application. Apps like qbittorrent are a third of its size, and this is not mentioning that platforms like linux have Qt installed as a system-wide library, making the whole size comparison moot. (you cannot install and use a system-wide version of electron for most electron apps).
He also fails to consider that there's bindings for all native platform UIs for a ton of languages. You could write gtk code in javascript or C# if you wanted, and this is especially relevant when mentioning WxWidgets. You don't have to write your business logic in C++ these days.
