I think you're benefiting from the coincidence that developers (managers?) chose Electron + 1 code base and void of well-written apps due to low market share. Sure, an electron app is better than a broken side project. But a fully native linux app would handily beat the electron app.
If there were a larger market share, there would be more well-written native apps. If devs focused on users, the easily-ported mediocre electron app wouldn't exist.
But the electron app IS a web app and has all the flaws of a web app, plus one more flaw: it doesn't share memory with the browser even though it's the same code (more or less). I believe their are some smaller electron-like projects that are lighter weight, though you're still stuck with a non-native web app in a shell.
