I'm glad you understand one part of Electron adoption, but the other part is user experience.
Apart from being resource hogs Electron apps are usually delightful. And usability (for non programmers!) is what for a large part decides the value of your app. You want users to use your program, right? What they see is the UI. Making it easy to develop good UIs is important for a GUI tool (obviously!).
