Based on "anyone disagreeing just dislikes the JS ecosystem", I feel like you might not want to grace me with a response, but I disagree /somewhat/.
Electron and web technology generally is certainly more performant than it once was, and I think people do malign Electron specifically a bit too much. VS Code continues to be the anti-example. It's always rather surprising it's just a web view, even on lower end hardware. (A several year old raspberry pi for example)
(Please note, I said "surprising it's just a web view", not "it's more performant than it could be if built differently".)
I think the main difference people tend to experience is a lack of care. I would say, for reasons I am NOT sure are causal, electron apps do seem to tend towards worse experiences on average in my experience. I think on the web, a quick flash of unstyled content or that ghost of the element you accidentally dragged instead of clicked are seen as just minor issues, because they're expectations of the web. If things go REALLY wrong, I have a whole rock solid toolbar above the app that lets me refresh if I think I'm in some infinite loop, or the URL bar I can look at if I'm not sure what page I was just redirected to. The back button promises to return me to where I was before. The browser is caging-in applications for me, so it's fine if they're a bit rowdy.
But using an application that is pretending to NOT be a web browser, seeing any web-quirk feels like I'm staring at rusted rebar in a cracked concrete bridge. The bridge still works, but now I'm aware of the internals of it and maybe that makes me feel a little more uneasy about standing on it. There is no back button if something goes wrong, and if there is, the app itself is rendering it. It's of course possible to hide that reality from me, but you need to care about sealing up all the cracks that let me see the rowdy internals.
To be fair, maybe that's just me that feels that way. And I do rather like the JS ecosystem.
