Electron was extracted from Atom and was originally named Atom Shell. I don't see your point.

Electron was also not extracted from Atom - it was always extracted as atom-shell. It was just rebranded as Electron. Atom ≠ atom-shell.

Maybe we aren't speaking the same language. Here's what it says on electron.atom.io:

"Initially developed for GitHub's Atom editor"

So what are we talking about?

"for" does not equal "as part of".
