As for podman-desktop: I see no explicit version dependency on electron in the spec file. There might be a practical one. OTOH: I don't know why one wouldn't want to use upstream's flatpak. It can't be for fear of containerisation 😉
Flathub's build system doesn't support shared, reusable build definitions for shared components or recursive resolution of build-time dependencies, so dependencies like Electron typically supplied using a pre-built binary rather than built from source. (For Electron, specifically, I am not aware of any packages that build that dependency from source.)
At least in principle, having a complete pipeline to build everything from source means that we can bring up new architectures, we can demonstrate compliance with license terms that require us to supply the source to binaries we distribute, we know that the software was built on trusted hosts, etc, etc.
