And for web, does it generate plain HTML/CSS, the DOM tree, or just generate everything in a canvas?
I think it does mostly canvas, but that could just be due to my selected option back when I tried web with it (couple years ago).
Kivy is great, and the contributors are friendlier than most. I particularly like it for Android, but it's definitely way up there in terms of "easy reliable multiplatform python framework".
It also gives you a ton of options for how you want to use it, more than one way to skin a cat philosophy.
Sort of limits how useful it would be for me - Bluetooth is one of the only reasons I'd do a native app instead of PWA.

Using a tool to generate a product in a language that someone isn’t familiar with is not a good idea.

Nor is it a good idea to choose a language strictly for its performance when requirements like portability and framework maturity are at the forefront.

Dependency management isn’t the greatest, but it’s also not awful for a deployed product. Managing dependencies as a developer with multiple projects that each have their own virtual environment may not be fun but it’s not exactly an impossible mess.

from __future__ import everything
And I’m sure people can’t believe that the iPod got more popular than the Zune, but sometimes convenience and taste are what drive decisions.
Pick the tool that’s right for you and the job, arguing against something based on your specific preferences should be seen as an argument without merit. I gave up Perl around the turn of the millennium, maybe it improved sense, but I really hated it back then-but I don’t go around badmouthing it and telling people to get rid of it.
Python is almost as ubiquitous as html, css, etc. It’s everywhere
I have little experience, but I somehow doubt that Python will improve a lot regarding resource usage compared to Electron... but great if it works for you.
