What you fail to understand is that what is good for developers is good for users. Instead of spending resources on maintaining many different code bases, developers can focus on providing a more solid set of features for one.

For instance, maybe instead of being an always online application, they can put in effort at caching for offline use instead of duplicating features across different platforms.

I did my senior project in Electron and there was no way we could have implemented as much as we did if we had to build a native solution for every platform.
