UI is art, art doesn't fit in such limited terms as native UI. Your personal preferences of liking the same UI style should not hold back the potential useability improvements that electron apps do infact have. Their presentation of content and organization of information is on point in ways existing applications didn't have, that's why they're popular.

I'm pretty sure UI tends to be science, with art kept for flight of fancy systems interactive like Emacs, vim, the Leo editor or Bret Victor's ideas--none of which would pass muster in committee UI decisions in for-profit companies. Shells are some black art.

Art is about presentation of content, styling. Every cartoon has it's own way of doing 2D presentation in a way that content matches up to be pleasing to the eye. If UI is not designed to a consistent eye pleasing assortment of styled information, it doesn't work well. That's the whole point of native styling.
