That's literally my argument, lol

Never said it was good, only that it's an example of the market driven need for platform interoperability of software.
My point was actually that Electron is bad and the fact that platform providers don't play well together is the reason why we, as consumers, must suffer Electron apps.

The idea is to stimulate competition, open or otherwise, to give consumers more choice and make startups/disruptors more likely to succeed. For instance, try install Uber on a PinePhone.
For example - it shouldn't require a multi-billion dollar company investing at a loss, risking lawsuits, to disrupt the gaming market away from Windows (Steam Deck).
