What do you mean, "most?" Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.

They are probably referring to the amount of progressive web apps that are out now.

I mean look at the most used applications these days, discord, Spotify, teams, steam, vscode, slack, etc

They might not all exactly be electron but theyre all secretly browsers.

okay. but every game launcher you have is web based. all the software management for my server is done through a web browser. the amount of time i spend in web based programs is many magnitudes more than the time i spend in software that is using other systems. even the games you play have web based interfaces for their ingame stores and other social/news features.
