It also removes pretty much the only reason to use Electron despite its shortcomings - the ability to ship and run the same code on multiple platforms.
Secondly, you lose control of your application runtime environment version - need a new WKWebView version to ship a feature? Time to tell your customers to upgrade the app and their OS.
I’d maybe consider this to cheaply ship a feature inside a Mac app, but this really isn’t an option for like 99% of dev teams considering Electron.
