You can control people's screens through Messages? And you can write simple webhooks and bots with a few lines of Ruby? Please send me some links, I'd love to do that.

Screen sharing w/ control: https://support.apple.com/guide/messages/screen-sharing-icht...

As to web hooks and bots, if you really think that necessitates having it be a bloated Electron app, I don't know what to say.

AppleScript is still a thing, right?

Yeah, it is, but I definitely wouldn't call it a webhook / bot alternative. Having used AS with Messages.app before, it definitely isn't very useful for anything but very basic stuff.
