What, do you bundle Electron source and Electron build environment with your Electron app?
Why would you do the same and bundle Java source code + Java compilers in your Java app?
Why would you do the same and bundle <any language> source code + <any language> compilers in your <any language> app?
If you need to create a "just works without dependency b.s." experience in Java, you use the correct tooling for that, jlink.

At which point you are including a similar footprint as Electron does by shipping chrome. I mean, you must have realized I was talking about the inclusion of the JRE and whatever else is needed to make a java application run on a system as a standalone application. So I am honestly not sure what you are arguing besides semantics.
