I get the joke, but an Electron "player" daemon seems like a decent idea. It could manage getting the right runtime versions, installing apps, deduping assets and granting permissions.

It'd be a sort of cross-platform Google Play Services.

That would also allow to call one application from another, just assigning some reserved namespace or domain and appending the feature at the end, kind of a path. Exciting times!

How would one remember a collection of these namespaces or the current place within one location? Analogous to physical paper, could we repurpose the concept of a "bookmark"?

To avoid having to update these files on your pc, these could be served by a "server" on the internet. We would have to run cables around the earth so everyone can benefit.

Unfortunately, that would also introduce latency. Plus, I'd like to be able to access these files when I'm not connected to one of these "servers".

First thing we'd have to serve then is some place where stuff like that can be discussed though, maybe some sort of "forum" with "comments" and stuff?

You probably don't need electron to do that, it could be done by any end user. Wondering why it isn't being done!

Oh, you're too brutal to the webdev community. Don't do that. :D
