The problem is enterprise environments where they tend to run stripped down locked down Windows installations and don't like to upgrade.
We used to use a native webview in an app and found that our app (packaged as MSI) would not install in a lot of enterprise environments because they don't allow secondary installers not signed by the same key as the primary installer. That means no bundling or side loading Edge. They would also require special security policy review to install Edge, making the whole thing really painful.
If you are only targeting personal end users a lot of what I said may not apply but it absolutely does apply in enterprise.
P.S. We did finally drop Windows 7 support a while back but we still get asked for it regularly. We get asked for Windows XP every now and then. Enterprise.
