Discord, Slack, and Matrix are all Electron apps (i.e., they are web pages that ship with complete copies of Chrome). While the proximate reason people are currently leaving Chrome (new limitations that make ad-blocking less effective) isn't terribly relevant to electron apps, long-term attempts to encourage browser diversity are not aided by the myth (widely believed) that the only reliable way to do cross-platform GUI applications is to ship a complete copy of Chrome with a webpage. (Flutter is no better than Electron here: it is also a matter of shipping a complete copy of Chrome with a web page.)
