Is the death of native Apple Mac apps?

I'm a longtime Mac user, although admittedly, I don't own an older Mac. Macs didn't enter the mainstream for me until around 2006, when I was transitioning from an IBM ThinkPad. I started out envious of the fancy dock and cool interface of Mac OS, but once I got hooked, I could navigate all my workflows on the Mac. I've seen it transition from the Aqua interface to what we have now, through all the skeuomorphism, including notepads, which include grids and handwritten fonts, yellow backgrounds, and leather-like interfaces designed to mimic actual calendars with handheld calendars.

So, I really appreciate native Mac apps. Some of my favorite native Mac apps have a comfort and fluidity that I don't think most developers who build apps for multiple different operating systems like at all. If you think about Apple's stock apps, including Mail and Notes, they offer such a smooth way of working that almost nothing else can match. Apple's native Safari browser provides a smooth and beautiful web browsing experience. Some things are close, but not quite perfect. I have a lot of other browsers on my Mac because I sometimes like to check how a website performs on different browsers, but even considering browsers like Firefox and Chrome, Safari beats all of them. Of course there are other nifty Mac apps, like the new documentation development platform Craft, but then I started noticing that the apps I need and use the most are now Electron-based. This includes Obsidian as well as the Notion application, which is actually a wrapper around the Notion web interface. It allows some things to be done in native ways like drag and drop, but on a small note, it's worth noting that these are not native Mac apps.

I blame Apple for providing such a lightweight way to build apps, but I also understand the pressure on developers to raise development costs and fix bugs. It's much easier to have a core code component that can be deployed on multiple platforms, rather than painstakingly changing the appearance and development of the application for each platform. In the end, I think some of these Electron apps
