Qt and wxWidgets are hardly native. Come on now. Electron isn’t perfect but if you are trying to build a good-looking/functioning UI for platforms that aren’t Linux (and thus have no UX consistency anyway, Elementary being an exception), it is a very viable option for lots and lots of devs. Especially web devs.
I get the hate at bad Electron apps but it’s also an unfair punching bag, IMHO. I would rather an app like this exist than not. And as a Mac user, I’d rather a good Electron app than some wxWidgets mess that still struggles with HiDPI in the year 2021, when every Mac I’ve owned since 2012 has had a high resolution display.
How is wxwidgets not native? They literally wrap native controls. Short of writing directly to a device frame buffer, you aren't getting any more native.
Qt is does indeed not use platform controls, but it is still a huge distance away of the insanity that is Electron.
Highdpi is also a solved problem on a lot of platforms already, and only really a problem in the first place if you use absolute pixel offsets or coordinates instead of extents, spacers and other automatic geometry tools.
