> They consistently miss the mark in adopting UI patterns from their host OS.

What you suggest is a disadvantage is one of the key advantages of Electron to me. I precisely do not want my things to look different on different OS. I don't have the resources to test my apps on all devices, and knowing that whatever I test on one system looks the same on another is A+.

That's an advantage to you. Not necessarily to your users.

The alternative is not that users get a UI specific for their OS, it is that users get nothing since I do not have the resources to develop for multiple systems. So yes, it is also an advantage to users.

Users don't actually give a shit.

This is a techie complaint, and that's opting for a charitably nice description.

Have you ever had a job as a tech support? If not, you don’t have anything to say.

People do complain about inconsistent UX. Especially when it does not behave like the platform it’s on.

		Yeah, I've done that job countless times in my 20 year career. Knock it off already.
