This and all other elecronNN-bin packages should NOT have provides=(electron), only provides=(electronNN). Please remove these as they are causing a mess all over the Electron ecosystem since the upstream change to the electron meta package approach. This may have originally made sense, but it definitely does not now. The only package that should provide that from the AUR is the electron-bin package which is a direct replacement for electron without a version. That provision on these versioned package is going to lock people using anything that does want the sliding version of Electron into whatever version they happen to have installed and also in some cases block installing multiple Electron apps that require different versions. Additionally it is screwing up AUR helpers trying to resolve dependencies.

28.1.0 is now released. If you can't be bothered to update your Electron packages in a timely manner, please orphan them so someone else can. This is not the first communication.
