It says "using HTML5 and web sockets." Does this mean the application freezes if the connection to server is disrupted?

Could developers use this to make web-based apps along-side desktop clients? If so , Desktop frameworks like GTK and Qt should focus on this idea more to reclaim the desktop from the monstrosity that is Electron.

I'm not sure how this could reclaim the desktop from Electron. If anything, this gives Electron developers another option by running a local server in the app and rendering it in Electron.
