You're probably right about cant, but why would they want to? A native version of their app would either embed a web browser or end up half-implementing one poorly. Why not just start with one?

Any Qt app can use QtWebView. There's a difference between putting a web browser inside your app and putting your app inside a web browser.

Yeah, the latter feels more put together, you don't have the awkwardness of communication between C++ and JS, and your web browser app will work in a web browser.
