Because it's an Electron app, i.e. another copy of Chrome.

Actually for all the money they've raised I can't understand why the Slack apps are so terrible. I use Mac and iOS versions, and they still can't show useful activity badges; video doesn't work on ios...what are the spending their billions on?

We've opened a lot of tickets about the " useful activity badges" but they seem to think it's a feature, not a bug. (I assume to keep remote devs happy so managers can't drill down to the minute of time.) I know for sure that their underlying tool fo determine away time is very accurate.
