Why don't any of the major distros have a webview? Seems an obvious move if you want apps and alongside user experience, apps are the biggest barrier to linux adoption

There may not be an official webview, but all (?) major distributions have libwebkit2gtk, which is used by Wails (Go) and Tauri (rust). So it's a de facto standard if not official.
