Yes it is. Whenever you open a common app whose interface is janky, uses a ton of memory, doesn't load all views as instantly as you expect a desktop app to and needs to frequently refresh itself you know you're using electron. Think slack and spotify, the article doesn't mention it but I'm sure Tidal is too because it behaves in exactly the same way.
The absurd is that lone developers (or small teams) manage to out do in quality apps from large companies. Nowadays, most software by a large company is terrible, even if native. Take a look at Apple's software going downhill, Microsoft software going downhill, etc.
Because it’s much faster and easier to deploy new features when you have one app for three platforms. They’d be crazy to spend resources on native apps for those.
