There’s a lot more to getting an app to feel native than just shortcuts, unfortunately. A native platform toolkit will do the right thing for your platform, sometimes even if you don’t know what the right thing is or that it exists.

I completely agree with this.
As a blind screen reader user, Electron apps are 90% inaccessible to me and other screen reader users.
Screen readers (on any platform) interact with the underlying libraries/ frameworks.
Every operating system supports its own native toolkit.
It's a shame that Java's SWT framework fell out of favor for cross-platform software. That is quite accessible.
Unfortunately, blind screen reader users are overlooked when it comes to these types of underlying frameworks.
