For web apps on desktop you're not even restricted to Electron anymore. Thanks to Tauri, I feel a lot more comfortable shipping web apps beyond the browser (and React Native) since I don't have to pay the cost of bundling Chromium and Node.js. The Rust ecosystem is large enough that any backend-related task I would use Node.js for has an equivalent in Rust.

We were never restricted to Electron.

There are browsers already installed, and MSHTML apps and XUL predate it for a decade.
