But people also say they know electrons exist, whereas they have never
actually seen one, but interpret electricity as evidence of them.

That's quite false as there exist many different independent lines

Are you even aware of who JJ Thomson is? If so, do you understand
what he did? And since then there are so many more experiments that
can detect single electrons. It would take perverse mental gymnastics
to view the dynamic data obtained in some of the dual slit electron
diffraction studies to avoid the reality that what is being detected,
AKA "seen", are single electrons.
