I think quite a lot of Electron app users see value in being able to use the desktop app on their work pc and switch to a web version in their travel laptop. Also there is a lot of value in being able to just register on the web and start using the app until you find that you need a feature that is only available on the desktop, because of fewer restrictions, and only then switch, lowering the barrier to entry considerably.

Electron apps are good because they are as bad as a web site?
Yes I get that different sets of features on different platforms is an issue. But often that is half the point, if everything could be done on a website there is in the vast majority of cases no need for an electron "app".
