The fact that "users care more about ease of installation" is not a reason to completely disregard other factors, such as size, speed, security, integration. The truth is that using Electron is a shortcut for you, the developer, and Electron is bloated; it being good enough is just an excuse to take that shortcut.
Sometimes taking shortcuts is fine, your users might prefer additional features over performance and polish. But if you are a company the size of Slack, maybe you can afford not to take shortcuts or do those sacrifices while claiming it's "good enough".
"Good enough" is different from "good".
