By that logic Postman native is a native browser hardcoded to open only one tab and load Postman's javascript code upon start-up

Basically this is true but the browser (Electron) is designed to be single-purpose (your app) and has pathways to the filesystem that you can't get in a web browser.

Also, it is treated as an application by the OS rather than a Chrome window (and all the benefits that come with that shift).
