Dead ends of information technology

Unfortunately, it seems that way. If it isn't dead then it's on the endangered species list. Electron / web-as-native has clearly won and it seems like no one is even attempting to improve the state of native GUI development as a result.

SwiftUI, React Native, Flutter disagree with you

I am not so sure about React Native. Like Electron, it is framework for people with web developer skill, missing a lot what real native frameworks can do.

Who do you include as “no one”? Apple for example is going full steam ahead with its native GUI frameworks.

Aye, but in the broader landscape, they're a bit player. The average person's exposure to Apple GUIs will be on their phones.
