That's because "native" is still a fucking pain in the ass with few benefits.

Electron can be pretty performant if written well. The difference between Electron and native is that Electron you can write sloppily (more common) or performant, whereas it's in the nature of native to force you down the performant path (which expends a lot more time).

People used to joke about new Javascript frameworks, now with AI things are changing even faster and you really think it's worth investing time into a native app for something whose features are rapidly expanding and changing? That's bad software management.

If they're doing stupid things in terms of performance then by all means they should fix that but Electron isn't inherently bad.
