I think the idea is that most developers would not make a proper desktop app, and without electron there would just be not app at all. But I think that Electron is a short term good which will cause a lot of long term "bad".

Precisely, people will just use something else. The proliferation of Electron apps splits the user base, so there's less incentive to develop a proper desktop application.
