It's easy to design bad software and write bad code. Like the old saying: "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one". Businesses don't have time to write good and nice software, so they wrote bad one.
If they have time to write nice software, they generally can only afford to do it once.
Lots of Electron apps are great to use.

Why do you consider Electron maladapted? It has really reduced the friction to write GUIs in an enterprise environment.
I didn't really mean Electron, but rather unholy amalgam of three languages, each with 20 years of "development", which mostly consisted of doing decrapifying and piling up new (potentially crappy) stuff. Although Electron with UI context and system (backend? background?) context both running js is another can of worms.

Thereby adapted to devs' needs, rather than users'.
Amazon just released OS that uses React Native for all GUI.
