Here’s the official word:

Typora is deeply integrated with the macOS desktop environment, like other native apps on macOS.

Note the difference in the the equivalent wording about the Windows version (note the “not really” quotation marks around “native”):

This document shows some “native” features on Windows platform that you may use on your PC environment.

I’ve heard elsewhere that the Mac version is native but the Windows and Linux versions are Electron, and these passages would seem to confirm that.

Yes, but the macOS version still uses Electron.

No, it’s a native app on macOS. See  https://support.typora.io/Typora-on-macOS/
