All those parameters mentioned are exclusively for developers. End users don't care and will get a worse product when you choose Electron instead of doing it properly.

End users care that they get a product at all. Which they won't if it's too costly to make. There is a balance that is appropriate for each project. Or else we should all be writing machine code by hand.

A sensible take wouldn't pick one or the other as unilaterally better regarding the abstract context of what a good product is. The web as a platform is categorically amazing for building UIs, and if you chose continued to choose it as the frontend for a much more measurably performant search backend, that could be a fantastic product choice, as long as you do both parts right.
