> giving people the security they claim they want 2FA is usually imposed onto people. For example google just enabled it for me, and also imposed it to most active python developers who published on pypi.

Electron is better if your only metric to evaluate quality is "can I use it in my proprietary product?". I work in a company that uses electron. The amount of time the UI guys spend to reimplement things that are already in Qt is
