Native UI has been there for decades before. Yes, cross-platform requires extra effort.
Hell even Wine is more efficient an approach for cross-platform distribution.

Aaand you lost most companies.

I'm sure that customers will be willing to install and run Wine.
Wine requires no more installation than Electron. There are lots of "pirated" releases for macOS/Linux with a bundled copy of Wine (sometimes with third party patches or some libraries swapped out).
extra effort = no less than 50x the effort
Bullshit. If that's what it takes you please seek another line of work.
I can built a basic app with html, javascript, etc that supports many platforms in an evening. How long do you think it would take to support windows, macos, ios, android, xbox, linux, etc, etc? Much more than 50x the time even if you already are familiar with development on all the plaforms.
