I still can't fathom why electron needs to exist when PWA is a thing. Like, almost every app is just plain better running in a normal web browser instead of electron. Webapps never need to be updated manually, electron apps do (e.g. discord). Webapps are sandboxed inside the browser, electron has you running some rando developer's code natively. With electron, you have to trust the developers of every app to keep the electron version up-to-date to avoid critical bugs (e.g. libwebp). With webapps, if your browser is patched, then every webapp is safe. Electron also suffers from random bugs and regressions that aren't an issue in most web browsers.
