Yes, native UI toolkits are not perfect, even though I consider Qt very close to one (I'm sure naysayers will find nitpicks). In the end, the choice is between the apps that eat 1GB of your RAM and learning to deal with some idiosyncrasies of native toolkits.
There's also just shipping with a Web interface that opens in a browser (like Jupyter, or WebUI apps). Plus there's the option to use the system Webview like Deno Desktop (this), Tauri and Electrobun do by default.
So thankfully we can still have our REPLs with live reloading and nice documentation (MDN, W3schools etc.) and large library of embeddable UI components without most the costs of using electron.
