People say this because of SwiftUI (and they're absolutely right).

The developer sentiment has trended against Swift for cross-platform UI work because nobody wants to write three native UIs and a few hundred ifdefs. It's little wonder that Electron is the king of cross platform Mac apps.

Cross-platform Mac apps?

Electron is no-platform. It is an insult to the user, and a lack of skill and effort for the developer. I'm currently using QT for Win and Linux, and Apple -tech for Apple.
