The reason for using Electron is to write once and run everywhere right?

I get that LLMs would make it faster to write distinct copies for different operating systems and maintain them both but thats still more costly than a single system.

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding the goal of Electron but it still seems cheaper and easier (although admittedly worse than multiple native apps)

Yeah that's my point. Maybe AI will lower that cost to the point where it makes sense to write e.g. a native Slack app. I dunno, we'll see.
