Fully agree. I have a background in C/C++ and a bunch of other languages, I'm probably in a better position to write native apps, and am no Electron fan, but I never got into native GUI's for a reason. Certainly if they have to be portable, it's an absolute mess. I already did throw together basic VueJS web apps for management interfaces for another projects, and now I need a similar interface, but with some OS-level access. My choice right now is not between a native app or an electron (or something similar) app, it's between having an actual viable project/product or having nothing at all.
I can't afford to waste time and money on native apps for multiple platforms. And I know that once my thing would bring in money, I could easily find someone not too expensive to take over the work on that UI.
Native apps cost a LOT more money, not to mention organisational overhead to bring feature parity to all. Bringing something native to 4 platforms is nowhere near an x4 cost, optimistically it would be more like x8.
