It feels like there are good security measures mixed with 'bad' ones in here.
It may be useful to focus more on the why, then the what.
I see you are familiar with frida and know a thing about reverse engineering, so I assume you know that just like most local protectors, someone will just eventually write a wrapper that automatically bypasses all the 'security' measures.
If we take electron as an example, why do I care that Tauri implements all these things, while electron doesn't. How does it make it more secure? Am I supposed to be worried someone is sitting in between my GUI and backend intercepting messages? Is this a common attack vector for electron? I'm really have a lot of questions why to put effort into developing all these things.
