Hmm I wonder why MS has spent so much time converting office apps to run on webview2…

Microsoft has always embraced their own migration. They converted their apps to UWP. They’re making them platform agnostic with webview2. If you want to run just their software on any architecture that’s fine, but Windows and x86 have been co-mingled and anyone who installs Windows expects their 3rd party software to just work.

They’ve also been pushing PWA hard. A lot of apps run on webview2 even in specialized industries.

I won’t be surprised if we see a larger push to non-x86 and if it’s arm then it’s also possible to go risc-v if app support is there.
