No, there is not fear in the industry. It is just people that refuse to learn js/html/css ecosystem that get outraged when see a electron app. Will you seriously think that a company like Skype didnt think and weight every option before doing their electron app? Sure enough they are not as efficient as native apps, and sure enough there are a lot of apps that thinks everyone have an i7 and 16 gb of ram, but the same problems had Java 20 years ago, pretty much with the same promises than Electron (Write Once, Run Anywhere), and it did pretty good.
imo React and Css rocks hard, I don't like .NET because Visual Studio, and I love js, css, html because Visual Code.
Also metatags are what user interface design should have been since always, and there is nothing better for that than html and react. Yes sure, you have wpf and uwp (both using xaml), but they are no near as good.
waayyyy back in the days, like 2002, Yahoo Pool was pretty big and people used bots to make many many accounts that played with themselves (in something like pyramid structure) to boost accounts score. They were usually used with proxies to avoid yahoo protections.
I don't remember if i did it, but I knew how to do it.
There were also 2 big auto-aimers, hell they were fun and tourneys were fun too :)
