What do you mean by “high fidelity”? I find electron apps, like Chrome, violate my platform expectations on the Mac.

Indeed — they often don’t respect the keyboard shortcuts I’ve come to expect, tab behaviour for keyboard navigation, UI signals that show default enter/space key actions, drag and drop, non-native UI designs, right-click context menus, amongst countless other things. Electron apps “work” but they are noticeably inferior on macOS (and probably on every other platform too).
