It's inevitable.

The only way for Qt to compete with Electron is to become Electron.

That feels like to opposite, though. Electron brought the browser to offline/"native" apps. It literally packaged webkit in a way for web tech to be used as a desktop app, whilst Qt in the browser (and Shockwave, Java Applets, ActiveX et al) were bringing the desktop to the browser.

Electron brings non-native content to the desktop. Qt in the browser brings non-native content to the web.

Now we can have broken accessibility, usability, broken theming, and bad integration on both platforms, yay!
