Plus, word on the street is Microsoft's motivation to move to Chromium was totally different to that: it was a performance decision. Too many apps were using Electron, and the only way to improve their performance was to intregrate it into the OS.

It's fine if you disagree me and I won't downvote you if you do (I never downvote people for that reason) but at least put some effort into it. > Too many apps were using Electron, and the only way to improve their performance was to intregrate it into the OS. Well why wouldn't they just build out the Edge backend to be compatible with node.js to natively support the Electron API? Because it a waste of time and R&D money when Chromium does all that already and more with minimal cost. Why reinvent the wheel when you can get a run-flat radial tire for free?
