I don't know about other platforms but on MacOS native apps are way better designed (looks and usability) than the electron crap that is available. So I'm curious, what makes you say JS devs are better at designing apps than native devs who know how native apps work?

They also care about battery life and system performance, they just don't know to blame Electron for any problems they have with those things.

What evidence do you have that js devs are any better at ui than native devs?
Most of the web is a usability nightmare.

On Windows we have WPF.
Compared to the web stack, it packs much more free things relevant to desktop development. The examples of such things are animations, composition, data binding, pixel shader effects, and vector graphics.
Also WPF renderer is based on Direct3D, I would expect better performance.
Their user do absolutely care about UI/UX. If you're going to implement it native without all the "free" things you get from the web stack, and its popularity, the UI is most likely going to suffer.
