Well, s/Electron/WebUI generally, the conclusion that I came to last year was beyond Qt there really isn't a decent cross platform UI toolkit out there that really handles all the nitty gritty details like accessibility, proper GPU acceleration, etc. And Qt comes with its own normative lifestyle assumptions. And there is this huge community of HTML/JS/TypeScript developers and a pile of UI frameworks for them.

So if you're looking to build a cross platform desktop application, you want to also be able to service it on web, and you want to be able to hire beyond the limited Qt/C++ talent pool, it just makes sense.
