The framing here assumes you need to ship native to all 3 platforms to justify leaving Electron. You don't.

I've been building a native macOS AI client in Swift — it's 15MB, provider-agnostic, and open source: https://github.com/dinoki-ai/osaurus

Committing to one platform well beats a mediocre Electron wrapper on all three.

Yeah, like you don't need to write three different clients. You can write a native MacOS client and ship your electron client for the irrelevant platforms.
