Not just consistency. Microsoft themselves don't have a modern, stable UI toolkit anymore. Linux is a mess. Only MacOS have something decent.

Then there is the fact that with native you need separate native app devs, familiar with tooling and environment, cause they totally different, so costs balloon. A lot. Not to mention a difficulty of hiring, compared to Electron.

There are practical reasons why Electron won, people are just ignorant of those reasons. If they poured their hate into solving the problem instead, we might have something decent already. But it's easier to complain. So here we are.

Personally, I'm annoyed, but understand why it is like it is.
