HIG is Human Interface Guidelines [1]

Electron apps often enjoy many of the things in the list for free because it's essentially a browser window disguising itself as an app. And browsers get a lot of stuff "for free" from the OS (not without issues, of course).

Discord breaks accessibility features though, screen readers work awfully in it. It was one of the big arguments against it when rust made an official server there, they spoke with discord about it and it got marginally better, but is still nowhere good enough.
