Most users are not so discerning. Once Windows ships with a native JS engine (perhaps Chakra), will streaming Electron-based apps without traditional "installation" be possible?

Windows has supported "Electron" apps since Windows 95, when Active Desktop was introduced.

Thankfully it has been largely ignored until web devs decided to start using Electron.

Windows already ships with a JS engine - it's a supported language for UWPs. I don't think you can stream them, though.
