Electron is a cancer murdering both macOS and Windows as it proliferates. Microsoft must offer a drop-in version with native optimizations to improve performance and resource utilization. This is the end of desktop applications. There’s nowhere but JavaScript.

Microsoft cannot easily port EdgeHTML to Windows 7. Microsoft cannot port EdgeHTML to other platforms. Microsoft Teams needs to keep running on Windows 7. Microsoft doesn’t want to invest in EdgeHTML for Teams if they still have to maintain a Chromium version anyway.
