My opinion is the opposite, because Electron is quite heavy (which is an issue for Signal Desktop at least), and because you can't use browser containers to use multiple accounts.

There are other options than Electron. Telegram's desktop app is a big factor to why I use it.

There's one big drawback though that's relevant here, and that is that it doesn't support E2E encrypted chats, those are confined to the phone app. I guess it's a security feature, I haven't looked into it too much, but I don't think it would be that difficult to share keys locally between devices you own.

Workaround for Signal for 2 accounts: you can use the beta version, which uses a different data folder, to use two different accounts.

Obviously that'd be better to have a configurable data folder.
