Slack, Spotify, Signal and Whatsapp desktop, Skype, Discord, MS Teams are all built on web tech. I think even Office 365 nowadays has a lot of the UI stuff written in react native.

A lot of older linux software is non-web based but that's not the average desktop user.

I think I read about this on twitter from one of the webpack devs a few years ago, might have been this chain. (https://twitter.com/TheLarkInn/status/1006746626617008128)

I think for react native in windows apps more generally the github page is a good start
