You’re right, it’s not a web app. It is a stand-alone application built on top of Chrome the way that other apps are built on Qt or WPF.

Right, and I'm saying I fundamentally disagree with this vendor-locking approach. Qt doesn't lock me into a particular environment and is cross-platform. It's a view framework, not an entire browser. Huge difference.
If your product is useful enough people will install what they need to, like Photoshop and Excel.
I agree also its an early iteration of the product. I think you would prefer to get a working version out there earlier and get feedback about the product rather than wait a month and get it right in every browser.
