I'm not saying the Electron UX is better than a native app. I'm saying Electron apps using NodeJS libs have better UX to Electron apps using Web APIs. At best there's no difference for the user, but at worst, they get permission popups and limited access just like they would in a browser.

This is why Electron app devs prefer NodeJS libs to Web APIs and consequently have no impact on the adoption of a large chunk of the new Web APIs (not counting DOM and CSS things because those are rarely controversial and usually broadly implemented).

So yes, those devs don't care about these kinds of new web "standards", because they don't work with them. The people who use them are the ones who are dangerous and that's almost exclusively web app authors, because they can't just pull in a native library to do the same things.
