Yes, I am new to all of this so I see the electron hate because of the resource usage but then never see any meaningful discussion on what people would rather be used.

It seems to be this Qt thing which appears to have it's own tradeoffs (which are?) and then...is that it? So is it going to be a case of not having any cross platform desktop apps or having something that uses 2-300mb of RAM that developers won't give you street cred for?

Maybe the focus should be on making electron more performant. Sounds like MS has found a way to do it with VS Code so doesn't that sound like a better alternative than to not have any cross platform apps?
