as Electron has no integration with the rest of the system,

You pretty much can use Electron to build an application and use native OS-specific features. It only requires thinking about it and a bit of work, but technically isn't much harder to do than with anything else. And there are some things useful in windows for that, based on user login credentials.

But ultimately, if the developers didn't care about doing that, it won't happen, regardless of them using Electron or writing fully native apps.
