@starfire What I really hate about this particular myth is that it basically only exists because of commercial incentives; it's cheaper for a company to ship the runtime with the app (and have a consistent environment) than to use a system installation of Electron (and have to support users in different environments).

The result is that, because corporations drive almost all software development nowadays, people have started to believe that it is a *requirement* to do this with Electron, because obviously the tools have started focusing on this approach as well because that's what companies want.

And so a bunch of misinformation spreads because "Tauri doesn't need this!" even though the moment Tauri were to gain widespread adoption (if at all), companies would immediately construct a very similar setup because they just fundamentally don't care about the cost to the user, only about their own support cost, and the tradeoffs would be the same there.

So now there's a bunch of misinformation and a lot of wasted resources and work being replicated between projects and unnecessary tech stack migrations and now everything is worse for everyone involved because a bunch of tech companies wanted to skimp on support cost.
