Valid argument, but only in case if that web app exists. But if it exists and you want to share the code, there's no point in using Electron or building a desktop app at all: you can just create a shortcut on the desktop or even turn it into offline web app in Chrome.

not really, there can be lots of reuse of code between the two apps without them being exactly the same. Reuse of major parts of your codebase have been a business case for many years, without requiring that you reuse all that codebase.
