I dislike the bloat that Electron apps are burdened with.
Unless you have speed to market, MVP, etc considerations, then why not use the tools that you enjoy using the most?

Totally hear you on Electron bloat. I went with Swift partly because I enjoy it, but also because I wanted a polished macOS experience I’d personally love using. At this point I’m already past the MVP, now the real challenge is getting users, which is turning out to be way harder than shipping the app. Really appreciate your perspective!
