If it didn't say "Electron" in the title, I'd have thought he was describing Java. I don't see why Electron itself is a necessary evil - Java has been able to do all of this (just as badly) for over 20 years.
And you can often have only one JVM installed. (Maybe not the average user after the JRE was killed, but at least theoretically it is possible)
At least java is actually typesafe
And has a rather stable ecosystem. I've been doing front-end development for almost 10 years now and have started moving into more Java based projects recently and after living through the "flavor of the week" hellscape that is the JS community, I'll take Java's stability any day of the week. And I say this as someone who does actually love JavaScript.
