Then why bother with the desktop client at all?
Some people like to have things in separate apps (even if they are not native) just so you can open and close it quicker than finding it in your tabs or getting distracted by all the other content open in your browser.

That's why there are apps packaging websites in apps too: https://meetfranz.com

I agree. I'm just wondering why that's a good enough reason not to have a Linux client when it's already using Electron?
Yes it matters. I could write a WebKit2 wrapper for the webapp in 10 minutes just so I can treat it a like a standalone app and not just another tab. If it's electron, give me linux.
yes
