Rust has bad ergonomics. You will see that "attitude" as long as coding exists, or lifetimes are fixed in a way to allow you to omit them in contexts which are not concurrent or are embarrassingly parallelizable.
Im not sure if people are getting the biggest problem in electron desktop apps.
Its RAM usage not the disk!!
Why are they all making the same thing in different ways?! I have never worked on an electron app where the executable size was an impediment to the business. Its always the RAM/CPU usage. If we are going to work on the same webviews like electron and others, how will this make any difference?

so basically a vibe coded Tauri in zig? I don't like calling webview dependent applications "native desktop apps".
Native desktop apps means using the OS primitives and directives to draw the UI imo; WinForms, SwiftUI, and their ilk.
I love the redefinition of "native desktop app" - a web app which uses the system web-view instead of bundling Chrome.

I don’t like this attitude, both zig and rust have their strengths.

Using the system webview theoretically saves memory. Though it's still not great.
Cause they all share one webview. Electron apps each run their own version of chromium
