Chrome was released as a beta the 2 September 2008. The first version of Spotify was released 7 October 2008, and the download size was around 5 MB. I know because I've using Spotify since it was invite-only, back in those days.

So according to you Spotify was able to build a full featured client using a beta technology in a month. Impressive.

Anyway, here's the version I'm speaking about, built by the people that developed uTorrent IIRC, by the way: http://static.filehorse.com/screenshots/mp3-and-audio/spotif...

Also even if the current version is not using Electron, it's still using Chrome, so the same argument applies.
