A lot.
I mostly see electron pushed by companies/moneyed interests. Not, like, a conspiracy or anything. But because it lets them spend less while having platform support on multiple platforms.
The issues that electron apps have seem to be sufficient that a lot of more solo/smaller devs avoid if they can. Not least because it can make debugging issues a lot harder. It's also resource intensive, which can make apps feel slow.
