If it's just for tracking, why not ship a JS runtime and run the tracking in a separate thread. No electron needed.

Too much work. With Electron, one can just `npm i electron-analytics` and done. Without Electron, libraries like that will have to be patched (at least) to be usable with the custom runtime.
