You speak vaguely about "people" making Electron apps, but the big issue is that big companies are making Electron apps for popular web services, and the popularity of these web services is why a lot of people are complaining about the Electron apps.
> it seems like those UX people aren’t creating lots of open source projects, or commercially viable projects, to provide nice UIs on top of apis.
Which APIs are you talking about? It's difficult to make a commercially viable project on top of obscure or unpopular APIs. The point of my original comment is that popular APIs can generate their own native app ecosystems.
