Probably as something made for developers, it was created to be fast and efficient and avoid sucking down inordinate amounts of resources.

Rather than the usual reason electron apps get made, which is because they’re “easy” and allow web-first devs to put out acceptable-quality desktop apps with no mind paid to those same concerns.

It is entirely possible to release good software with electron. It is also entirely possible to win the lottery.

That's not a given. Just look at the bloated monstrosity that is Visual Studio.
