Electron-based applications seem like a hugo factor. When native applications were abandoned in favor of Electron, designers stopped trying to match their designs to established operating system standards and began designing from scratch, with much poorer results, because they didn't have the resources and experience of teams that had worked on major OSes. Prior to that, deviations from established standards (layouts, colors, logic) were seen as unprofessional and tasteless. Things like buttons with unusual colors made software look like a shareware hobby project downloaded from Tucows, and nobody wanted their product to trigger these associations. Premium software made for Windows wanted to have the look and feel of Word and Excel.
