The Bloomberg terminal is totally different from Electron apps. For a start, it's all rendered server side, as the parent comment explained.

It depends on what you mean by "rendered". The client side is a highly modified Chromium which runs a GTK like GUI implemented in JavaScript.

So it is like Electron in that you are literally interacting with a web-browser, but one made too look like a desktop app.
