From a consumer perspective, if the choice is between C++ or nothing, or C++ and Electron, you take the application written in C++. They were probably already using C++, and most of the mature cross-platform UI toolkits are all designed around C or C++ anyways.
From a developer perspective… at least it’s not JavaScript.
there is python, PyQt6 is crossplatform, runs anywhere, the biggest dependencies python and qt are often also used other things so likely to be installed already
C++ ? Ouch. Hard pass.
( Not that I would ever have been eligible or interested anyway )

All I’m saying is it should’ve been C.

And why would anyone with an existing C++ codebase use that when it’s just a bridge offering a subset of the original Qt6 library written in C++?
Same for Gtk and most other modern UI frameworks.
Yeah, C++ for a storefront? Why?
The ++ part is just bloat. Everything C++ can do, C does better.
GOG Galaxy has been developed used Qt.
I remember hearing GOG does a lot of extra work to make their games run better, so then it makes sense that their programmers use C++.
