Not using a full blown web rendering engine (if that's the case) but OS painting (not necessarily GUI) APIs would make it much more native in my eyes...

I don't see why. Electron apps, for all their faults, use the OS to render text, so they respect things like system-wide settings on scale, you can use your installed fonts, you can use screenreaders and other accessibility technologies.
