Isnt another downside that the javascript in the OS web view could be different and lead to having to support a significant number of different webview versions. If you ship chrome with your app, you get to choose the conformance.

This seems very overlooked in your evaluation.

It most certainly is a huge deal to handle all the browser differences with regular websites.

A big reason people choose Electron is so they don't have to deal with all these differences.
