The replacement is react native. Same web developer friendly environment with practically native performance. And yes, it’s available for desktop as well as mobile.
Just curious can you give a link to desktop app made with React Native or an example / tutorial for this?

I see a few attempts -
https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows
and http://reactdesktop.js.org/
The Windows one is from Microsoft, but is single platform. Nothing officially supported by react devs as far as I can tell.
Having a web app + native app means a huge leap in cost.
Having no web app + native app means a huge loss in user reach.
The only viable replacement would be something like Electron but with a stripped down browser fit to purpose instead of the huge surface-area of Chrome.
