Usually the answer is limited resources with unclear payoff, i.e. even with Electron's success, it's not clear that there's room for an alternative in the market, and it'd be a lot of effort to do.

There is Tauri which is so much better both from UX and DX.

And yet all the big apps are still using Electron.

Tauri v2 just got released, it’s very recent and corps move slowly; besides, rewriting a project in a different framework is a major undertaking, it would be a bad idea to rewrite a major project in Tauri, which is still not as widespread. I’m unfortunate enough to have to work with Electron and Tauri greatly improves on everything that is wrong with Electron. I have no doubt that companies will begin adopt it in the following years (or a similar tool, the underlying architecture is solid).

We'll see, and I'd be happy if it wins!
