Webviews have always worked since MSHTML, the issue is being comfy helping Google's market share instead of writing portable Web code.

That's a whole can of worms, Micro$lop entangling its own browser with its OS, getting a (gentle) slap on the hand for its abuse of monopoly position for it, having to remove it claiming it's "impossible", etc.

Is it not a web view? With nodejs capabilities from the “backend” half of the app for normal desktop app filesystem access etc?

If a Web View is not provided by a browser then it's an already installed browser then it's as they say "web rendering engine" that they ship along.

I'm trying to argue that it should already be available via Firefox, Chromium, etc on desktop.

Firefox doesn't release a webview engine but if they did I wonder if Linux distros would use it.
