We are absolutely reinventing the wheel on the browser but in the end up we have single broadly compatible platform across devices both small and large, with multiple implementations, and mostly all open source. It runs completely untrusted sandboxed applications. The browser is the ultimate OS for anything that doesn't require raw performance or deep integration. People have been trying to make that since the dawn of computers. But designing something like that top-down has proven virtually impossible to get right. Building it bottom-up like we have with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and now even WASM ensures that what gets built is actually secure and practical. It might not be pretty but it works. Even performance, which is the number one criticism of electron apps, is something that can be solved. When you Microsoft looking at making the webview a common reuable component again, what is native between something like WPF/XAML and DOM/HTML is merely a matter of perspective.
