JavaFX is terrible and I'm a Java fanboy. It isn't native looking so it doesn't satisfy the requirements outlined above. You can get a facsimile of "native" but at a lot of effort and for specific cases.
But the problem is the deployment story. It requires native libraries so you need to package it somehow. Ideally, one day GraalVM will support JavaFX. That day isn't here. So you need JavaPackager which is one of the more awful ways to deploy anything at scale.
It pains me to say it as a Java fan, but most people will be better off with Electron.
