Is Google Chat really an Electron app? If it is, then I wonder why it cannot do OTA update or why it has to open a browser for login (instead of opening the page in the Electron shell).
Long story short: It's either a really badly written Electron app or no Electron app (well, still obviously not written for 2018).
The issues mentioned are not related to Electron or technology in any way. This is just complete apathy to the users. I am not even surprised, between all the google communication apps, not even sure which one this blog post is about.
