Tons and yeah of course some are also Electron apps but not all... Proprietary apps I can think of include Chrome, Teams until a few years ago (I think they just gave up), Steam, the JetBrains IDE's, Cursor, Discord, Matlab, ... Of course a lot of Linux users these days just live their lives through browsers. That's pretty sad.

Chrome: Is electron without electron Teams: Was electron Steam: Valve is deeply invested in Linux, this isn't them just shipping an app. Different category. Jetbrains: Java Cursor: Electron Discord: Electron Matlab: Java ABI compatibility doesn't matter for any of your examples.
