From a consumer perspective, if the choice is between C++ or nothing, or C++ and Electron, you take the application written in C++. They were probably already using C++, and most of the mature cross-platform UI toolkits are all designed around C or C++ anyways.

From a developer perspective... at least it's not JavaScript.
