Cos by using JS you don't need low level knowledge of how computers work and you don't have to plan too far in advance. People are not big fans of learning, specially the things they deem arcane.

That's a great reason for Electron to exist and I'm all for it. If you want to mess around, do silly stuff just because you can, it's amazing that such technologies exist and you can do magic with pretty low learning curve. Heck, I've been doing stuff in the past like complete smartphone UI with Node and Chromium, just because I could and wanted to experiment.
However, that's a really bad argument when it comes to software development of proper tools that need to be developed and maintained and actually used by people.
