I’m all for native UIs, but if you must go cross-platform, it’s often not worth it. Why bother with the specifics of Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS. Just build one mediocre UI to rule them all.
Electron does not have to be slow, just how web applications in general do not have to be slow, multi-megabyte monstrosities.
I bet you would be surprised if you knew where even specialized, sort-of-embedded UI is moving. Hint: it’s not native.

Do hypothetical 1000% performance gains matter if perceived performance is already within acceptable limits?
Wasting time gold plating solutions with no meaningful tradeoff is a negative trait, not a positive one.

Being able to use the same code on all three major desktop platforms as well as the web is worth it many times over.

Why does this flame bait have to get squeezed in everywhere?

Nowadays it's possible to opt for a best of both worlds situation: https://tauri.app/ or https://github.com/sciter-sdk/rust-sciter
Electron uses chrome everywhere, Tauri uses the system webview which is very different and vastly inferior.
This really depends on your definition of inferior; I'd consider the lower resource usage a good tradeoff for fewer bleeding edge features on most days

Individually or in bulk?
For an individual, no.
For the gigawatt of power you just wasted nationwide, yes.
