Not just that, it allows to ship with much more api's available to the user.
That's why is not always the best approach to appeal to whats people are saying.
Here on HN this was the #1 thing that people used to ask or complain for when the topic was electron.
"They should just integrate with the system browser" was the common saying. But the the burden would be on the developer,who would not only be back to the hellish scenario of multiple browsers implementations but also having to deal with a very skinny SDK to work with.
In the end of the day, the applications deployed on Electron will win, because they will allow developers to do much more and without the application breaking here and there because of the gimmicks of each platform.
When hearing what people say, you must have in mind the kind of the crowd you are listening to. Here on HN for instance is mostly Apple users, mostly developer types, and that's the reason why they ask for the platform browser, after asking for the platform UI, because that's how apple platform users will tend to think.. and the memory thing is the fact that most here are developers.
But that's far from being representative of the whole world of users. So, you might appeal to the particular crowd here on HN, but once you are out there "in the world" you will have a hard time facing contenders that are more resourceful than you, and the worse of all, is that it is by design. You cornered yourself into it because you forgot you are in a bubble..
