Correction: you didn't know how to do it. That doesn't mean nobody could.

Hence, electron came on the scene and enabled people without that particular experience or skills to create desktop apps.

Grumpier people like me rolled their eyes and said people should just write desktop apps similar to how it was done in the 1990s, to which the answer was generally "that's too much work". If this is changing, I would guess it's because AI is now doing that "too much work" for them.
