Electron is very well known & has a large footprint - lots of existing tutorials, extensions/plugins/libraries, regular bug fixes. There are also lots of existing large Apps that can serve as reference. If you Google - building cross-platform desktop Apps, most of the results will point to electron.

If you already know JavaScript (lots of people do) & are trying to quickly get your App up & running, then it can make sense to just go with Electron rather than trying to learn a new language like Rust.

Both reasons were why I picked electron to build https://nocommandline.com

Yes, Electron Apps are big but in the grand scheme of things, they might not matter so much for now (laptops are being built with bigger memories, Apps are being improved to manage memory).
