That doesn't make any sense. Using an electron app isn't the same as someone accessing web sites with chrome.

Sure it does, using Electron is picking the easy way of coding against Chrome specific APIs, instead of what Web is capable of across all browsers.

What you're saying is not wrong, but that's only about developers. Users have no say in the stack used in an app, so using that app in today's landscape of walled Gardens makes no difference in terms of chrome's dominance.

That app only exists because those developers decided to support Google's agenda.

Programs built on electron are using chrome is an isolated way, they aren't skewing the percentage of people who access web sites with chrome.

They are increasing the amount of Chrome deployments and developers using Chrome only APIs.
