Electron solves a very important problem. It efficiently prevents those pesky Linux users from using your software. Most electron apps simply do not work with Wine.

Wait, what? The point of electron is to be cross platform, I never had an issue running an electron app on Linux.

It seems to me that the point of Electron is, in many cases, to leverage existing knowledge of client-side web programming paradigms and tools. Multi-platform support is just a bonus that comes with it.
