more like "you won't have a choice but to always use the newest version of the app"

I get that you dislike electron, but that doesn't take away from the truth: don't like the latest version of an app? too bad, you just have to get used to it or stop using it
What a ridiculously user-hostile attitude. It's not about Electron, it's about the loss of control. It's one of the big problems with any sort of forced-update software delivery: Web apps, SaaS, snaps, etc. The new version drops a feature I need? "Too bad." The new version doesn't work right on my computer? "Too bad." The new version has a bug that is blocking my work? "Too bad."
