What on earth even possessed Blizzard to *remake the entire main menu in Electron?!* I wonder if they did it because it was the easiest way to shove a whole bunch of telemetry and analytics libraries in there. I'd love to see what a Wireshark capture of this would look like...

Many AAA games use web tech for menus nowadays. EA in games like Battlefield one & 5 for example use a fork of react native that renders to the frostbite engine, ubisoft does something similar. Their menus work fine. it's on blizzard that this menu costs so much performance.

modern appdev is a mistake, cross-platform applications are as simple as running a chrome instance and pretending you're a webpage now

Did you read the original post? Blizzard literally did what you suggest (running a chrome instance and pretending to be a webpage) and the performance is awful. Not really a glowing recommendation for that model
