Except to run Electron applications you need to distribute the open source Electron runtime.

Just so happens that it's shipped with every application.

Unless you're importing a ridiculous amount of packages and assets, you'd never hit 100MB with simple apps, that's just people looking at debug mode and thinking that it's the final app size. Simple apps can easily be under 8MB once compiled.
DDC is not at all a representation of the final size of the code, as it doesn't run any kind of tree shaking, minification or optimization, and the animation library has a lot of things that you will definitely not import.
