> Sure, Electron is theoretically cross-platform. But you are going to need a lot of platform-specific code to package the app for macOS, Windows, or Linux anyway.

Not really. The most platform-specific code I've got in my app is 1) the CI install instructions that use brew rather than apt-get [0] and 2) what exists in the application menu [1].

For packaging, electron-packager [2] handles everything else platform specific. So my Windows, Linux, and macOS builds share the exact same script [3]. The result gets zipped and uploaded to the relevant Github release page.
