That was the sentiment about wxWidgets and QT in 2006. Reality is, native platforms will always be a moving target.

QT in particular has come a long way and is used today for a lot of enterprise software, but it’s not the panacea that was once envisioned.

The conventional wisdom in those days was that users wanted native look & feel. The success of Electron has pretty much disproven that.

The conventional wisdom was that accessibility was something worth caring about.

It’s totally possible to build accessibility into web apps, including Electron apps.

Accessibility does matter. It’s a fundamental element of usability.
