So why not a website with an opened-sourced git so it can't "go offline" ?

Was there any other motivations to go electron, maybe to learn idk

Not everyone is aware of things like https://www.w3.org/TR/offline-webapps/. Also, if you haven't downloaded the source, some hosted git server somewhere else doesn't help.
