Those are pretty sucky by comparison to both web and native and they don't feel native.
The problem is not that cross platform toolkits don't exist, it's that they're aren't any good enough.
Also why are we pretending in this thread that it's impossible to write electron or web apps with more reasonable memory usage? Look at vscode.
Electron, as much as I hate to say it, is one of the best options available.
It must be very hard to write Electron apps with more reasonable memory usage if VS Code is the sole example anyone ever has.
Sublime Text is my reference for reasonable memory usage and performance. VS Code doesn't measure up.
I'm not aware of any cross-platform toolkit that works on windows, mac, linux and the web aside from, well, a browser.

People don't want to pay the cost of native apps, they want to be able to use apps everywhere and have new features often.
