Which apps do you avoid in particular which are associated with a service you are required by your job to use? Or, what purchasing decisions have you made on behalf of your company that took Electron-ness into account?

So when you have mention 'users' it was actually about 'companies'?
It was actually about customers and incentives. You're right that I shouldn't have said "users;" I should have said "customers."
It's rational for businesses to do things that make them money, and to not do things that don't make them money or make them lose money. SaaS business believe that spending R&D budgets on growth hackers and web product engineers is a better return than spending those same budgets on macOS engineers. I suspect they are right.
It doesn't matter to these businesses that you personally avoid Electron apps. They don't care, and Apple has made it easy and rewarding for them not to care.

Electron apps are not all B2B or associated with a service. This restriction is odd.
