Electron is a nightmare to package because it ships a copy of Chromium which cannot be easily unbundled, and it is very hard to get Chromium build with our security standards (i.e. the compiler options and using the system libraries). Electron apps will be an even bigger nightmare if we want to ship them in the default installation: they consume a lot of space, RAM, power, etc. There is a great blog post about this: https://josephg.com/blog/electron-is-flash-for-the-desktop/ -- Dmitry Shachnev
