I'm not the biggest fan of this sed reinvention of PostScript we call the browser stack, but my main problem with Electron and the like isn't this, but their design target: Making desktop apps look and feel like web apps.
We're throwing away all kinds of HIG achievements since 1984, for the sake of pretty colors and superfluous transitions. Not too long ago, a considerable effort was spent to make web apps behave like desktop apps, now the inverse is true.
I blame the rise of "UX", just like "DevOps" is too blame for needless infrastructure.
