With exception of VSCode, the only Electron apps that I use are forced upon me due to work requirements.
All of them I glady ignore on private owned computers, or use the browser version, they are anyway Web apps.

Use Electron and you'll get OS-native buttons and other form controls.
Can you provide any source/documentation on how to achieve this?
As far as I know Electron is based on Chromium. And Chromium doesn't use native controls, it has its own custom controls that sometimes look similar to native controls.
If the toolkit is good enough it's entirely possible that a platform or platforms may adopt it as their native toolkit. In any case, these are really competing with electron which is already non-native. If Rust toolkits can get to electron-like quality but with lower resource usage and better hooks into the underlying platform then I'd consider that a success.
