> It seems unrealistic long term for any company to maintain one native app and an electron app across other platforms

Not sure if it's more or less unrealistic to have one native app per platform.

> Spotify did this for a while, but they eventually forced everyone onto the electron app

I don't think (but someone correct me if I'm wrong please) Spotify has ever been a Electron app. If I recall correctly they are indeed embedding Chromium but they are doing their own custom binding (possibly via CEF), not via Electron.

Often apps don't have one app per platform, often it's just Mac or something. They get Electron so everyone can use it and then suddenly the Mac app has an equal number of users as Electron (or less) and then at that point justifying development becomes difficult.
