You're right, I just did the test here, to import an electrum wallet into sparrow, only with the keystore file. Another point worth highlighting is that Sparrow does not import electrum keystore derived from a BIP39 seed (imported)

Does anyone know why?
There are some libraries that can be used to convert electrum seed to XPRV seed and then it can be used with any BIP32 wallet.


However, it's worth noting that extending the seed with a passphrase is not going to add much security if it's not too complex or if it's stored with the seed in the same place.
The main benefit of passphrase is for physical attacks.
