I wonder if it would make sense for Tauri to support shipping a bundled webview engine for platforms where the native webview is outdated or otherwise problematic for your application? With the idea that you could eventually migrate to system webviews.

That way, you're building with cross-platform in mind but still have the option to pick a stable target if you need it, compared to solutions like Electron where you don't have that choice.

I guess you can ship an electron version for these platforms where native webview sucks. Chances are that once you do the electron app you start doubting the benefits of shipping a webview based app.
