It makes more of a difference for the end-user then the developer necessarily.

An end-user can continue to use your electron/tauri app for years after a website has long since vanished into the infinite void.

But vunderba you think to yourself and also how did I know what you were thinking just call me the amazing kreskin, "what about a PWA? - you can use that off-line".
