Because it's a horrible experience.

That's just my anecdotal view, but I have never tried a web based app (electron native app thing or webapp in the browser) that is as great an experience (UX and UI) as the best of the best native apps on Mac and iPhone, and I'm not sure it's possible to push web tech that far without reimplementing everything in the web stack and making it as close to native that we're better off just writing native apps.

EDIT: spelling.

I would say I have never tried a web based app better than average native apps. (Except for GMail, because I don't like the sync feature of mail clients).
