Not that I disagree with the core point that some software gets worse over time, but I don't think it is valid to say that users have not benefitted from the ease of development afforded by Electron. Spotify has maintained its nominal price at $9.99 for 12 years, meaning its real price has fallen by one third. I don't know anything about Spotify or why they spend over a billion dollars in R&D each year, but if lack of attention to UI performance has helped cut their development costs then users might be benefitting through lower prices.
