I assume this is due to a web limitation: Discord has system-wide push to talk (I.e. system wide shortcut) only in the electron app, not in the PWA.

Yeah, there's lots of little things in the Electron API that would be good to see adopted into PWA standards. Probably also some Node native modules out there that would be good candidates for PWA standards.

With so many Electron apps in the wild these days, it seems like a great opportunity for the standards bodies to comb them for good ideas for greater platform-wide adoption. (What are people doing in Node processes in Electron that would be tough to do in {Service, Web} Workers? What APIs for deeper native integration would be of benefit?)
