The post shot to #1 because there are a lot of Javascript developers that see Electron as a gateway into apps they would otherwise be unable to develop. There's a lot of interest in whether or not that door closes.

Apple's policy towards private APIs has been known for years.

In which universe is it good for Apple to roadblock JavaScript (or any other language) developers?

You misinterpreted my comment.

Apple is roadblocking the use of private APIs, not languages. Or interpreted another way, they're roadblocking frameworks, not languages. This is true whether you're using Javascript, Swift, or C. This rule has been in place for years.
