That's a good point, developers/sysadmins/IT and adjacent jobs in general may be a sizable exception.
Most "normal" users are usually running very homogeneous systems (the average office worker doesn't get to choose whether they want a Mac Book, a Windows PC or a Linux workstation), where the difference would only be between work & private computer use - but I think, most people (again, developers and maybe designers excluded) have little overlap in the tools they use at work and at home.
Electron is the native-ish sequel to the everything-is-a-web-app movement, I suppose. That has similar motivations (also makes everything no-install, super portable), and for plenty of tasks it's good enough, as computers these days are massively over-powered for lots of general tasks.
