And the DOM, and the size overhead and it's JS/TS and some other parts from dev (i.e. not user) perspective.

Through tbh. I don't see much reason to spend time for a Java UI framework, Java for desktop is just kinda annoying and somewhat even more dead then Java for servers (which isn't really dead tbh).

Through I guess idea/Intellij would love to replace the low level parts with something which works more reliable.

Yeah the reasons for choosing JS/TS don't have to be stated from developers' perspective because its the goto tool for new products nowadays.

Also I don't think the desktop app market for java is small in any way. But if there's no difference between electron and JVM UIs then there is no incentive for teams to switch.

But what about the teams coming from classical desktop application development. Perhaps they don't want to switch to Electron-based web development.
