Missed that - I am a little unclear how being wrapped in electron as an app is necessarily an advantage - I guess it could be valuable if it were pulled out electron, and you could host it as a service.

You can connect to your SQLite databases from the browser too without the Electron app if you wanted: https://studio.outerbase.com/connect

Yeah you can definitely do that, I referenced how we do it in another comment. The electron app and running it locally allows you to use TCP protocol which isn't available directly in the browser.
It's mostly just a nicely bundled way to run it if you aren't very technical but still want a easy to use database client.
You can also run commands like this to connect to your database if you want:
npx @outerbase/studio \ --port=5000 \ --user=admin --pass=123 \ mysql://root:123@localhost:3306/chinook
