no because they've either only dealt with crappy software, or think a single mediocre piece of software is better if it's cross platform, and anyone who disagrees with them is wrong.
I've also seen plenty of people who talk about how great electron is while also complaining about modern software requiring more disk space, more ram, more cpu time, or their laptop batteries dying as if always on wasteful software isn't the bulk of the reason.
Seriously for most electron apps you could have a twenty+ year old machine capable of running all of them without breaking a sweat if they were native apps, that can't open them all at the same time as the crappy electron apps they are today.
If you find the UI tools from web tech easier for your business purposes then make a web app, but stop forcing shitty perennially out of date copies of chrome on everyone. I guarantee you aren't pushing out updates as rapidly as google is, and that means you're missing security fixes. This last point is something I'm serious on: if you cannot push out a chromium update for your app within within say 24 hours of google shipping a chrome update you should not be shipping an app built on it.
