I could even imagine someone creating a repo (not in COPR hopefully, due to legal issues) replacing in proprietary apps like Discord (or Slack which happens to be relevant to other discussions here) the bundled electron with Fedora's making things like Desktop sharing (not sure if it requires more changes) and Wayland working natively, packaged in a convenient RPM, a bit like what is currently available in the AUR.
Proprietary apps don't allow patching of their code. Recently discussed in #flatpak:matrix.org.
I could very well imagine a properly maintained Electron in the repos, including the patches for Wayland & Pipewire, and then some packagers/users building everything in COPR disregarding some of the Guidelines in instances where it is too hard to apply them.
Yes, COPR packages can use npm/etc. to download all the required dependencies.
Just wanted to add that if Electron is packaged for Fedora, packaging the rest of the electron apps would not necessarily happen in the official repos (due to the enormous work needed).
We will have another problem - different Electron apps require different major versions of Electron engine.
