So why can't Python call system WebView directly? Is passing through layers of Rust really needed here?

Abstractions are rarely "necessary" in a strict sense but since Tauri already solves the problem of doing cross-platform webviews, why not reuse that work?

I've used pywebview in the past ~2017. Works well.
