Things people get wrong about Electron
From $25,000 Bloomberg Terminals to SpaceX spaceship controls, web tech is powering systems you'd never expect. Many desktop apps are built with Electron. Why build with web tech — and why bundle parts of Chromium to do so?

NLnet; Servo Webview for Tauri
The web ecosystem lacks a cross-platform, non-corporate controlled system for running web content.
