I don't even think they need to make a native app; I use plenty of Electron apps day to day, like VSCode, Atom, GitHub Desktop and they're all fine.
Slack however is borderline unusable. Ghost processes, background workspaces silently closing and not delivering notifications, processes pinned at 100% CPU, silent crashes, pauses while typing, and even sometimes character drops.
I've tried it on three laptops from two vendors all with 16gb of memory, 100% SSD and an i7.
I've got Mac user friends that tell me they've never had any of the above issues, and I believe them. I've used it on a Mac, though not as a daily driver, and it's fine.
It just feels to me like Windows is a second tier platform for Slack, where they're fixing the bare minimum to not lose market share.
