In discussions like this its important to try to distinguish between a priori reasons and post hoc justifications.
The real reason that parties like slack and spotify choose electron is because its easy for the devs they have that only really know JS/HTML.
Its not that they couldnt hire more/different devs that could do it in a saner way, its not that its too expensive or that the ROI is not good, when we are talking about companies worth hundreds of millions to billions of dollars focusing on a core market, that is just completely laughable post hoc bullshit.
Its that they dont give a shit, either about the user experience, or improving their toolset. They are happy where they are, and see no reason to change.
