I specifically asked not to focus on examples but OK, I guess you really had to get it off your chest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The topic was not "Electron vs. Qt" at all.

Good for them, to me it's a mood and productivity killer. And no I'll not change my mind on this, ever.

Broader point is: the people who worked on Electron, Slack etc. should have really done better. But I have witnessed how job security almost always leads to sloppy work.

Actually, the people who created Electron (and the code editor Atom), themselves abandoned it to create a performant code editor called Zed - with its own GUI toolkit based on Rust.
