Most software today is bad, Electron is worse. Tolerating such concepts leads to mainstream software abominations like the Epic Games Launcher. In a world ever so dependent on technology.

This. Good software can be made even when using Electron - just take a look at Visual Studio Code. It pains me during my work as a software developer how many times we have to cut edges, because companies want to minimize their expenses (and developers get in a habit of doing so even when they don’t have to).
