> Electron exists to poach web developers into app development, because native code and frameworks are hard.

I don't agree with the "poaching" statement, but I would argue that "frameworks are hard" should be replaced with "desktop gui frameworks are appalingly poor".

Webview-based rendering frameworks trade away native look-and-feel for a myriad of tools and processes and techniques and workflows and expertise that you simply do not get with plain old widget frameworks. GUI developers know this, and in particularly GUI frameworks vendors are well aware of this. In fact, check XAML or QML.
