Why do people keep forgetting this? You can use Qt to easily build a "fast" GUI that works on all platforms. And you can do it with Python via PyQt. No complicated C++ or Rust, unless you actually need it (which this almost certainly does not).
I suspect the real reason is that web developers are seen as a dime a dozen and GUI programmers more specialist and hard to find. This was the main reason my team chose to do an Electron app. We were already doing React on the website and nobody had any experience with Qt.
Picard is a good example of a PyQt app: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/
